    I wouldn’t worry too much about the brake balance. Most people only upgrade the fronts as they do all the work. I’d do as much as you are willing to spend.

    But if you can stretch to doing the fronts and rears its money well spent. I did both the fronts and rears and am glad I did as it’s neck snapping under heavy braking.

    How much did it cost you? What did you go for

    Hey guys,

     

    after turbocharging my car I realised I need better brakes.

     

    I have a question, why do so many companies offer front calliper upgrades but not like a set of 4 2 front 2 rear. Would brembo front callipers and stock 1 piston rears ruin the brake balance?

     

    any advice I would appreciate a lot as I don’t know what to do with that. Front and rear is a lot of money

    I never realised how far forward the AVO turbo was mounted down below. What made you pick that setup?

    It was quite simple to be fair. Cosworth supercharger is discontinued. Harrop supercharger was not available as they halted them while they test them on the new gt86 model engine. So AVO or tuning developments. AVO looks much more stock which I ended up deciding was a big factor to me but also Fensport is closer to me than Manchester’s tuning developments. I also thought AVO was a much bigger brand with more rigorous back testing and quality management.

    Hi I haven't forgotten about this post, I was planning on waiting until I moved to my new house before working on the car, however the house move has been delayed so I've ended up fitting it last weekend.  I am in the process of editing the install video for my youtube channel and will also be doing a first drive reaction video as I can honestly compare it to the previous setups I have had on the same car as previously it had BC coilovers and I have also driven it on stock suspension so I genuinely have something to compare it to unlike others that guess what its like from what they have read somewhere.  On first impressions its a thumbs up, but I want to drive it more before I share my thoughts.  

    Send me the YouTube link when it’s up pls

    Car can get as low as 17mpg if u thrash it everyday on the roads. It can be as high as 40. I average 23 which is very low for the car. Expect to have 29.

    the car has small brakes which are quite cheap to replace when they wear.

    car doesn’t drink oil and if u drive like a normal person the engine will last you forever.

    i have had mine for one year and all I would say is the standard tail lights tend to fog up and buying some foam and putting it inside the boot and doors of the car will help it the most. Oh also replace the stock tyres ASAP they suck.

    Hey guys,

    So long story short il be turbo charged in a month. I need better brakes as it is let alone then.

    The hub of my brake discs I want it black instead of rust. No point spraying it black I may as well just upgrade them.I  want better performing and nicer looking discs, ones with grooves for cooling.

     

    I also want better brake pads, ones that don’t screech when cold like track pads but are better at stopping a 100mph car.

    I also want to get my brakes sprayed black.

     

    I want to get all that done together at the same time.

     

    does anyone recommend any pads,discs or calliper spraying companies.

    Is it worth getting metal brake lines also.

     

    thanks as always :)
