Hi
Since my Lancer Engine swap I feel I should do a brake upgrade.
I am lucky that my lancer already has fairly good brakes, with rear disks but I now have about 60% more BHP.
On the back I think I can just put upgraded brake pads but I would like to go bigger on the front.
Current standard set up is 276 MM vented as per here:
I am running 16 inch wheels (which I would like to keep), although the stock wheels were 15 inch, there is still not much clearance on the stock single piston brake calipers:
I take it if I went for different calipers such as 4 pots (maybe from a skyline R32) or 2 pots (maybe from a FTO or Spacewagon, would I have more clearance?
Has anyone done a similar upgrade and what did you do?
cheers
