Brakes

[MWGT40]

I am looking at upgrading my braking system on a MK I GTD40 from the standard Granada Scorpio brakes. I am considering upgrading to 6 pot AP Racing calipers with 340mm (13.4 inch) ventilated discs. However, Frank Catt has made me aware of the same setup offered by HiSpec (Monster model), which is considerably cheaper (around half the price). Does anybody have first hand experience of using these on a GT40 replica?

I had these Rally design units fitted, and they worked superb...
And they are much cheaper compared to Ap ones...

Only watch out your turnin´radius!
At least, KVA had some limitations. Also if you have std or replica halibrand´s you might face some space problems

Chris,

The setup that you mention, what size discs and caliper type?

How do you find the Wilwood setup? I know someone who changed his Wilwood setup to AP Racing because he wasn't impressed with them.

Regards

Hi Martin,

May be a little late to reply, but I believe Hi-spec to be very good quality and perform very well.
