Brakes
Mod | Benefit | Drawback | Is it a problem? | Notes |
Grooved disks |
|
|
No |
Tend to wear pads down more than a "solid" disk |
Larger disks |
|
|
Yes |
You'll need larger callipers to fit the larger disk into Generally the bigger the disk the greater the stopping power |
Uprated brake pads |
|
|
Maybe |
I've found these are more prone to squeaks and squeals Depending upon pad, they may not work efficiently until they are up to temperature i.e. when they are cold the brakes will be very poor |
Replace the stock brake lines with braided hoses |
|
|
ish, get ones that have a calliper locating "tang" |
If the pipe comes undone then you have no brakes - dangerous. I know of several people this has happened to... No one offers a decent reliable well built kit yet... |
Larger front callipers |
|
|
Yes |
A bit of engineering ingenuity will be required to get larger callipers to fit |
