suitable calipers and discs
siert - 21/11/02 at 06:02 PM

Which brake disks can be fitted to the front without using vented discs? I'm trying to save weight and because its a track car i want solid discs up front.
Any one know of a lighter set of ford calipers i could then fit to these discs??

Thanks Siert,
holland.

I tried to get hold of this set from Lolocost when they were in Exeter but they don't do it anymore. Apparently they can't get hold of the calipers anymore. Bugger.
