brake upgrades

Post by curtklze »

Does anybody know (protegeSTS) of a brake upgrade for the MX-3.<p>I know the 323GTX can up grade to VR4 rotors and our calipers, but what can the Protege/MX-3/Escort GT up grade to?<p>we cant use the VR4 rotors becaue they are 4/110mm and ours are 4/100mm.

the stock brakes are fine. Just make sure you have good rotors, pads, fluid, and that the lines are in good shape. The stock brakes have been fine for people actually road racing the cars, there's absolutely no reason to go bigger.
