just get some xr2i / rsturbo brakes from off here, i'm sure someone will have some. pads are easy enough to come by, either original ford ones or maybe ebc greenstuff pads.

but mind you don't kill yourself trying to keep up with your mates xr2 with your 1.1, not recommended !

in conjunction with rs turbo discs then yes, better than standard 1.1 system.

and ebc pads would be decent, do a search to see what other people have got.

I've got a set of turbo brakes you can have for £30 mate. Discs are excellent and pads are 50%.
