Uprated brakes 1.2?

[DanEdser]

can you get uprated brakes for a 1.2? only really looking at fronts and rear drums are fine.

I'm not sure if you can get uprated discs calipers pads etc for a 1.2 ph1

if you can what would be the best option?

if i was to try and do a 172 front brake conversion, what would i need? hubs?

Is there any need? K tec do a big brake kit for the 1.2s.

If i was you i'd just get new disc's/pads from G172 on here who would supply brembos.

1.2 brakes are waaaay over the top for the car as it is anyway.

What are you trying to achieve ?

better brakes... lol my stopping distance isnt great as i nearly rear ended someone the other day as the emergency broke in front of me. I've put some new tyres on and am now wanting better brakes anyway

Leave a bigger gap between you and the other car in front. As said above put new discs and pads on and get the fluid changed too

I wouldn't bother changing to big brake conv IMO. Just get a decent set of pads & discs on it & change the fluid. Job done.
