Need a little guidance here,
I'm thinking of ditching the advised Caliper setup on my Phantom which is - Rover 400 43mm slider calipers using the original servo, original 827 back setup.
Replace with 4 pot AP calipers on floating discs with a balance bar front/rear twin master setup.
Do I need to keep the servo or would I lose feel? would this system be totally over the top and a waste of money (+/- £1500)?
Cheers Nick

I now have the Balance bar setup and its looks very well made.
One query though, the balance bar itself will be transferring the servo load to the Master cylinders under a "Shear" force as it starts at 90 degres to the cylinder pushrods. Will this be reliable long term? given that usually all brake parts are taking the load in compression/tension.
Anyone done a few thousand miles with one fitted?
