He said i could have a go sometime but i think i would have to floor it and i know that would end in tears.
A supercharger would iron out all the rough bits of the turbo.

Re: Ready for Summer
I have to say my Green Stuff pads are not great.
I am considering the upgrade path for them for early next yerar and the Wilwoods look good value but I'm worried they will squeel like Ash's
What else are my options for a good all round disk conversion?

Re: Ready for Summer
my Hi-Spec's with ebc red's never squealed, now fitted with yellow ebc and yes they did squeal a little during the 1st few miles, seems to have settled down now.
if anyone would be interested ( not a 'gimme' ) i've a set of mintex 1144 rears and ebc red's.for sizing you can look at the hi-spec web pages : front calipers are Billet 4 for sierra, rears are 2 pot hi-spec - direct replacement for standard sierra. Both sets have atleast 2/3rds left on them.....only reason i changed was that i was running witgh mismatched pads and wanted to see if i could get more braking from the rears to balance things up. Personally i think EBC reds are good for our cars.

I use the Wilwood Powerlite kit from Rally Designs with 265x10mm plain discs and Mintex 1144 pads.
The supercharger kit is interesting
