Ken - we can always have a look next time we meet up.

Suba:
How would you compare the brake performance to standard?

Have you measured the distance you need from 60-0 before and after the upgrade?

Did you change the "pre-tension" of the spring of the rear brake balance thingy?

Have you noticed differences in "braking balance", i.e. does the car get light at the rear when braking or does it stay "as stable as standard" when braking heavily..

Thanks, Jochen

My brakes were not standard before the upgrade - I had pagid grooved discs and pagid pads. This setup is significantly better.

I've not measured the stopping distance - just gone by feel.

The brake bias remains unchanged - after I test the kit on a track I may add an adjustable bias valve to play around with the balance.

As standard I found the car got VERY light at the back on braking heavily - as in if you are not going in a straight line then it's spin time! The was originally why I started looking at upgrades. You have to remember that a high % of coops on the road will have a siezed bias valve which will reduce the braking on the rear anyway...

My old brake setup was fine for road use, but I wanted a bit more for use on track, so when the old discs and pads were due for replacement I went the whole hog.

Some airfield testing was done this weekend - so about a minute or so bursts braking from 80 down to 20. Performace was good on the front, but not brutal - possibly they needed more use to get some heat into them.

The rears are fantastic. Handbrake turns with no problem what so ever. The standard brake bias is fine in that there is no rear lift on the brakes at all.

Some proper testing was done at Donnington last weekend.

I did not install the bias valve, but did make sure that the standard compensator was working properly.

I was very impressed - the car stopped hard and consistently, but even more importantly there was no lift at the rear of the car at all under heavy braking.

Very good upgrade IMO.
