i run stock bug disc's on the front with aftermarket disc's on the rear with a bug front cailper mounted on custom brakets. only have a hydro handbrake as its a compertition car but thinking about having a seperate hydro cailper at the rear just for the hand brake.
cra has 150bhp at the wheels and is quick, have not had any brake probs yet with it but putting it back 9on the road and poss some track days next year might mean having to go to vented discs on the front and some bigger cailpers.
what most forget about when doing brake upgrades is tyre conbtact as this has just as much affect on stopping as big brakes. no good have 315mm dics and 6 pot monoblock calipers if your running a 165/15 tyre
cheers rob
