Hi, first post
I'm looking for options for improving the brakes on my 2000 C70 T5. I have recent new pads and discs all round, and replaced the fluid with dot5.1 last week. The brakes were still not as good as they should be. Then I took a "spirited" drive over the moors from Burnley to Hebden Bridge of about 10 miles and the brakes faded appallingly!
I need to check, but I'm pretty certain I have the 302mm setup.
My thought was, do the 320mm setups from the later (p2) models fit? If not, how much work would it be? Are we talking custom caliper mounts?
The other idea I had was getting a pair of Nissan 4 pots from the 200sx, and making mounts for those. The standard setup for them is 280mm x 28/30mm but they would fit snugly around a 302mm disc. I figure if I would need to make custom mounts for the p2 stuff, might as well move up to 4 pots. Only issue I can foresee is that the standard master cylinder may not be wide enough to move enough fluid, and I will end up with horrid pedal travel again!
I'm on a pretty strict budget
Anybody have any thoughts?
