: If you can lock up your front brakes
: under hard braking, going to different
: calipers will not give you more braking
: power - your tires are the limiting
: factor at that point. Both my GT6 and
: my TR4 use the same stock Girling 16P
: or SP calipers and both can lock the
: front brakes, once rebuilt so the
: pistons all move freely, fitted with
: braided stainless lines, good pads,
: clean rotors, etc.. Now, if you are
: going to fit huge, super sticky tires,
: maybe then you need more braking force.
: Once you change one component, it
: leads to another, as you pointed out -
: if you change the calipers, you may
: need to change rear wheel cylinders, or
: go to a dual master set-up with a
: balance bar, enabling you to put in
: different size master cylinders for the
: front and rear circuits . . . My advice
: would be to get the stock system up to
: max performance first and see how it
: works - with the right pads, lines and
: fluid, it's good enough enough for my
: vintage race cars, even in a one hour
: enduro.
