i want to upgrade the brakes on my 8v before i do any engine work so i am putting together a check list. if there is anything i've missed out on then please let me know - cheers

16v servo
22mm master cylinder
256 calipers
new pads and discs

does any body know if i can just swap the calipers over or do i need some new hubs?

if anybody has got any bits they wanna sell then gimme a shout.

cheers.

As far as I'm aware the 8v hubs won't take the 256mm calipers, I think the old driver hubs ect (and obviously 16v hubs) can take them, but not the 8v. BUT, the 8v hubs can take the 280mm g60 setup. Wink

I'd say your about right with that list, although you could get some new hoses while your at it, and some new fluid.
