410 Brake Upgrade

[AndrewA]

Well...for a variety of reasons (impatience mostly) I decided to press ahead. The coopercraft kit was a bit more expensive than sending the calipers off for a refurb but not in the price range of some other options - also it was marketed as a straightforward bolt on arrangement - which it was - ish.
The only challenge I had was the wheels wouldn't fit! Turns out I'm running 411 Series 2 wheels but on 410 hubs. The spare, which is the original 410 wheel fitted perfectly. So SLJ kindly supplied 4 410 wheels which are now freshly powder coated, and on the car.
First impressions....brakes very good, excellent feel and bite - have yet to try repeated hard braking from silly speeds to see if I can fade them but I'll let them bed in first. I also prefer the look of the car on the original rims and it has lightened up the steering and increased the steering feel noticeably.
