1200 brake upgrade

Post by Garth »

Hey all,

As most of you know I am putting an sr20det in the 1200 but I'm also making things harder on myself and running 13" wheels. I am needing a good option for a brake upgrade? I am looking into buying a wilwood kit and putting that in there but am unsure if there is a kit out there I can buy and make this work?

Anyone know? Or anyone have any alternatives with good stopping power that will work for under 13s. And no the s13 brake upgrade doesn't.

Any info would be great.

Cheers
Garth

Hey man, all my 13s nick the smallest part of the s13 upgrade, grinder Sorts it ;-) Its about 2mm of cast to burr off for ssr/enkei/riverside rims. As an alternative calliper though, I have used the early pulsar/sentra calliper as there are HEAPS of them around. Grinder to suit, and it has a bigger brake pad than the s13. Not bolted in yet so you can come view it all if you want with your selected 13inch rim? It uses s13 adapter plate
