Yep going for the S13 setup by looks of it. Got some S14a calipers. Just got to work out what else I need...

i've noticed a difference with the 4 pots,but only since they have been installed on my mk2, probely because the mk1 had a leek and was sucking air in.

I would imagine the mk2 is alot lighter than your mk1 too Shaun. Maybe i could have a try on Saturday when we meet up.

I know how to rate brakes Martin.I havnt forgot you used the same pads, it was irrelavent to my complaint.I used my first statement as an example of improvement in modulation range.I know he asked for other options, That is why i said use the search option as there are other threads about 4 pot brake setups.

Adz has been in my car and can vouch at the vast improvement in brake performance over the standard setup.It was my suggestion,you could have made your own without picking at mine.

I made many suggestions and outlined quite a few options. I like to be as honest as possible with people. I like to see people take the best options possible based on my or others experience

I dont have a problem with that at all.

You guys know that slotted and or drilled disks do not improve braking performance they actually loose a small amount of braking performance.

They do improve brake performance as they improve braking consistency.slotted and drilled discs disperse heat and gas more effientially. They also help brake up water film on the discs under wet conditions giving better brake response. The downside is there is less surface area and increased pad wear and I am aware that gassing is not as common as it used to be due to modern brake materials.I have gone for a 6 slotted disc on my car and noticed improvement.Idont like drilled discs as ive seen them cracked many times and i dont see the point in multi slot discs other than to look pretty.

On another subject i have been thinking about installing brake cooling ducts from my front splitter to the front calipers, I may do this at some point during the rebuild
