Sounds like fun - but I like challenges

I now have froggys wilwoods and looking to give them a proper testing in a few months time.

Will be keeping an eye on this as everything I have been told is to keep my sierra rear drums. My tiger is only 600kg tho and at best only 170bhp.


1 thing I would say is everyone will have a different perspective on feel of braking. I've had 5 different sets of brakes on my astra (daily banger) and still not overly happy.

I would say that you configure braking ability by caliper/disc/bracket selection and tune "feel" through selection of brake pad compounds.
