Look lovely Pete mate
Now you've got to get the engine power to match the braking power

Far too much money for a minor wheel/caliper problem!

Look awesome!
One thing I don't understand is why people say you don't need brakes like that on a 125bhp car... You can never stop fast enough!

I agree, you can never spend enough money on brakes. Whether yuo have 300bhp or 50bhp, you can still tram along at 100mph, and need to stop fast!

True, Better brakes less chance of hitting the car in front when they slam on.

remeber reading about a track day in an mag and this zetec-s was running superb lap time and all it ahd was minor mods yet huge brakes. shows u that they do help and are defo worthwhile. brakes are the only things thats gona stop u from crashing in some cases so well worth the money.

True but £1250+ VAT is way to excessive.

Yes but he didn't pay that for them as they used his car as a prototype.

You can get cheaper big brake kits...
My adapeted AP cossie 4 pots were 675 all in with 300mm discs. Spot on for a set of 16's!

You can get a Brembo kit for a B - you can get loads of big brakes for a B. The Reyland ones are probably the best though - they use modified AP Racing calipers, which are probably about as good as you can get when talking 4 pot.

I had 2.0 turbo brakes on mine before the Reyland 4 pots, and there is a HUGE difference. I properly cooked them a few times under severe braking, but the 4 pots just love it!
