Upgrading FRST brakes under standard rims.

Postby filtra on Tue Jun 13, 2006 2:14 pm

I havn't found a previous topic that really answers this but here wer go anyway:

I will be opting for the RS2000 front brake setup.

Does anyone know if the RS2000 calipers are bigger/better than the FRST ones or shall I just use the FRST calipers.

Secondly are there any 260mm dics and pads that people reccomend. For fast road at the most i.e. grooved?

Cheers

You need the RS2000 calipers.They are bigger than the fiesta calipers.

Dont waste money on grooved discs,Standard discs will be fine with somthing like a Mintex 1144 pad and some fresh brake fluid.
