Calipers: Big one or lightweight?

[redhot]

I guess you have to start off with prioritizing a bit;

1) Stopping power
2) Cooling ability of the brakes
3) Weight of the system
4) Ease of installation and those other things

A lightweight bug with around 195wide tires does not need much stopping power to lock-up the wheels. The original system copes with that.

So cooling; Kerscher etc addresses this in them a simple way; ventilated discs, and note; still using standard spaced-out calipers.

The weight bit is interesting; but then you also have to keep close attention to the rest of the setup; wheels, tires etc...
