Maybe the old calipers were holding a bit which would hold the car back a bit, now its free. Cant think of any other reason it should feel faster.

Yup I have had problems with my front 2 pots,found that one of the pots was ceased badly,over time it has got worse and started binding to the point of feeling like it was holding the car back. Thankfully I managed to free it and with a bit of decent creeper oil on them,it's now rolling really sweet....happy dayz

I would like 4 pots eventually but means going to 17 inch wheels and I prefer the 16s. I think there are some options for 4 pots that do fit behind the 16s but a bit pricey I think?

4 pots fit behind all 16" wheels I believe.

I know and I would only have to pay £35 to get the bad one straight but I love the v2 ones I got from joe
I think I will just go for decent discs,pads and brake lines
