Race Brake Kit

I'm looking for a race brake kit for my 80'. I want a four piston or better kit that can handle high speed cornering. I attempted to locate some sites on the web but came up with nothing.

About the best would be to use the FB big brake kit from Respeed. You can either use the stock TII 4 piston calipers and rotors, or you could find a big brake kit for the TII and put that on. Basically what the Respeed kit does is adapt the spindle to use FC hubs and comes with a mounting plate for the stock TII 4 piston caliper. Do a search and you'll probably find what you want.

Respeed is working on a kit for the rear yet to go with their 5 bolt Moser axles that they sell. The bolt pattern will change to 5x114.3 with their kit. AFAIK there isn't any big brake kit in the 4x110 bolt pattern.

Big Brakes

You could also think about swapping to SE front struts and brakes. If your car has drums in the rear, you might think about a total swap. My SE stops on a dime without much fade. I have Hawk blacks up front and Hawk blues in the rear. I use Dot 4 brake fluid.

The above is only a suggestion, if nothing else, something to think about.

That's really awesome, I'd buy for sure.

Thats the Respeed site. Its not too hard to find the parts. The front brake kit is under the brake section, along with the rear brake kit which isn't available yet. The moser axles are under the drivetrain section.
