Hi all!
So as to not post a million questions in my project thread, I thought I would post the specific questions in their own section, and stick to the progress in the project thread.
My first and most important issue is with brake upgrades.
As I am in Spain, I am having difficulties finding the items that are the most common here for brake upgrades.
I would prefer to do as little modification as possible, but at the same time, make the upgrade worth while, so I decided to go with the Fiesta ST 150 that seem to be so popular (and are a direct fit).
However, as a kit, I can only find sport versions, and they are betwee 1800 and 2500€! Seeing that I only paid 1900€ for the car, it seems a little steep
So, going with seperate parts, I am also struggling to find a selection to choose from. The best I have managed to come up with so far are:
Bosch 0 986 479 637 discs at 75€ each (here is a link to that model in the uk: http://www.bestpartstore.co.uk/690851" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false
And TRW calipers model BHQ302E at 125€ each (uk link to the specific part: http://www.skscarparts.co.uk/braking-brake-caliper-bhq302e-trw.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false
So, my questions are...
Are these models the correct models for a direct bolt on?
Can you point to an other brands with part numbers that I can try to search for here?
This would work out at 400€ + pads, so probably close to the 500€ mark, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than 2000€! I also found some calipers from a scrap yard, but they want 150€ for the pair, and I think I would rather pay 250€ for new (if the TRW ones are any good).
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks all!
