not much stopping power
#1
I have a RA with 2 pot callipers. I used ECG disks and greenstuff pads to keep me going but am now ready to do full upgrade.
Anyone have any comments on what is available or what to go for.
I have 17" OZ wheels. AP 6 pot seem to be the kiddies but will ABS cope and being a lighter car will 6 pot over brake it ?
Cheers !

Can't answer all the post, but don't worry about over-braking. I have seen 330mm disks on a car less than half the weight of an RA. That gave it a slight edge in the particular race series it was in (won 17 of 18 races in one season), certainly didn't make it undrivable.
In theory the ABS should cope fine, as it only releasing and reapplying the pressure based on the sensor readings. Don't have experience to back up my theory - sorry.
