Is the servo working ?
I think the test for a servo is to put your foot on the brake pedal and
then start the engine.
If the pedal moves down further then the servo is working.

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?

1.1 dampers and springs on the back were what old Q found best for all
round use. and 1.6 si on the front. worked for me.
I improved the braking on our old Q by fitting groved diamond black
discs and EBC green stuff pads. again no great improvement but super for
spirited driving.

Well I made a mess of that, I did mean front brakes on my H4 NOT
2+2....oops
Also I was going to ask what rear springs people were using on their
H4s. I have standard XR2i 16v suspension and although the front rides
over the bumps fine the rear jarrs the car, plus my spine pretty
badly. I'm thinking softer springs might improve matters.

I'm not happy with the front braking performance on my 2+2. I could
probably just replace evey part with new to see an improvement, but I
have the chance to get a brake setup from a mk5/6 Escort RS2000.
According to the fiesta forums these parts are a straing fit. Has
anyone tried them on a H4 yet and did they see much improvement?- Hide quoted
