phillip@premierauto.co.nz Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 pay the money and put a pedal box from palmside in, run a mininum of two piston calipers on the front, 4 piston would be better, EBC pads and motul fliud, ok for escort, with drum brakes on the rear, mk2 sport or capri drums all good with no booster, only one race car we look after runs a booster setup.

Gaz Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 EBC pads and motul fliud, Good pads and fluid do alot for performance braking. i have made my own. do i have to get it crack tested if it needs to be certed?? Not as far as I know. One of my old escort didnt have it crack tested for the cert and it was welded pretty shit! Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
