I thought I'd heard mention of using 1.1 rear suspension, I will give that a go.
The main issue I have with the brakes are that it seems to require a huge ammount of effort to slow/stop the car. They seem much worse than the 2+2 we used to have. There isn't a huge ammount of pedal travel but you seem to have to press really hard to get much response. I had a basic brake test done and they seem to be working well enough and would lock up on the rollers. I think the pads I used were AP/ lockheed(?), the disks are standard and fairly new with no scores/wear lip. I now have the RS2000 brakes and the disks are 260mm compared with the xr2i 239.5mm. I did consider the Cosworth setup but was concerned that they wouldn't fit under my 15" wheels. I was also considering a servo upgrade, are there any options for this?
