Which front brakes should i go for?
Hi gents, Ive gone for the RD ally uprights which are suited to the Wilwood Powerlite 4-Pot's
I now just need to decide which type & size brakes im going to run on the front,
I will be using the car on the track so the'll be worked quite hard, The car will weigh around 700kgs.
Would I need vented discs or could I get away with solid discs which would keep the weight down.
Im thinking about going for the Powerlite - 265mm Solid Kit from Rally Design which is just over £300 pound,
Do you think the'll be man enough?
Im running the 250mm sierra non-vented discs on the back
Thanks

I've got the powerlite setup with solid discs/groves
i'd also reccomend the mintex pads rather than the smart pads, as they have much better initial bite.

I've got the same setup but with vented discs - they never get warm enough and would swap for solid discs given half a chance.
Whatever you do DON'T get the Smart pads as they will scare the crap out of you - Mintex all the way 
Cheers,

i had smart pads but they may aswell have been blocks of wood.
mintex 1144's are good but have a tendency to squeal. well they did on my car
now using yellow stuff, no squeal and initial bite not quite so good but much better on the edge.
