can anyone recommend a good brake conversion for the front discs?

I was thinking about the metro turbo route, but all the people I speak to say all you get is a pedal which is impossible to press, and the price of some other makes of calipers! - KAD do some for 2 grand!

I_cooke said: If you go for the turbo discs, can you not fit the turbo master cylinder (or is it the same?)? If not just go for a slightly larger one. This should bring the pedal back to the top (cost about 20 quid brand new!).
What about a servo? Do you have one? It will reduce feel but require less effort from the driver.

Plus, don't put brakes on the car that are too big, or they won't get up to temperature and can even make matters worse!




hmmm no servo at the mo - that's why I keep my distance when caining - that will go in with the new brakes
