Brake calipers - value for money

[Nat12104]

hey guys, i wanted to discuss the best value for money when looking to upgrade the stopping power of our cars

pulsar gtir
almera gti

i know the brakes from these cars are cheap options but is there others

 

[frank]

same brakes aint they nat, ADV22 ?

 

[Nat12104]

yeah man theyre the same, just listing them for others to note, i think the 100nx has calipers that fit too with minimal/no messing about, what ive always thought about is the rears, you could whack 4pots on the front but what about the back end?

 

[Enuo]

1.6 almera brakes fit, rear discs might fit with the Matt Humphries conversion kit

 

[Nat12104]

hard pushed to find calipers from the pulsar gtir / almera gti

how good are the front calipers from the 100nx?

 

[Enuo]

Better than micra calipers and discs but not as good as 1.6 calipers and discs

 

[Nat12104]

i have one caliper from the almera gti so far lol, just gathering some stuff...havent even done my test yet hahaha, hard to find a set of clocks with a rev counter

you only need good breaks if you up the power/track use abuse for youths

 

[Nat12104]

in a sense inner sense innocence ,you feeling alright ,,,,yeh i am

 

[Nat12104]

inner what now?

I know it's boring but the 'best value' is to make sure that your calipers slide freely, you have a good set of front discs and pads, ditto rear cylinders and shoes, your master cylinder is in good nick and you change and bleed the fluid. If you want to upgrade, get braided lines. And don't worry about the rear brakes, they have little work to do

Braided lines are already on the calipers, a friend has no use for them so he gave them to me my micra at this moment is bone standard
