    Brake Upgrade Question.

    I have a Corse S with a Tilton pedal box. The calipers are some really dated looking Fiat part with a single piston on one side. They don't seem to be particularly powerful and I'd like to upgrade. Has anyone got any ideas for a kit etc (Willwood/HySpec etc?) Bigger vented discs would be a start, then perhaps four pot calipers? I'll be changing from a Volumex to a 24V at some point, so it's worth doing now. Any ideas welcome.

    Bumping this up in the hope you guys can help with some advice.....car's of the road until I get something sorted out on this. I had some feedback on Hyspec from a very credible source and it wasn't good.....so I reckon I'm going to rule them out at the moment.

    Interested to hear that feed back. I've done a bit of reading on the hispec brakes, they do have some negative feedback but I found more positive than negative reviews. From what I could find out they're a copy of the AP racing brakes, and quite popular with the TVR crowd, they seem to be standard fit on Radicals too.
