Jag front brakes...nissan calipers?

[Rebel1]

Hey fellas..thanks heaps for your suggestions.

The wilwoods and AP's etc are an easy decision if I was looking for improved braking.

But..

Like Myles. I'm looking at reducing front brake effort but I'd like to achieve this by replacing the calipers with some that use a smaller pad. I'd also like to save some caliper weight at the same time.

I have had a suggestion some cobra owners with jag suspension are using alloy nissan calipers. Have also had the suggestion of using the earlier (smaller) jag caliper but of course..they're iron so reasonably heavy.

Maybe this is the reason that some overseas cobra dont use brake boosters.

You are dead set right Myles. The RMC does not seem to transfer sufficient weight to the front ...it just locks the front wheels way before the rears even get a chance to brake.

Mr. NASSTY was somewhat right in another tread in that he commented that stickier tyres are the solution. You are more correct in saying that it is a weight transfer problem. The front tyres are not experiencing the increased weight during braking so dont have the increased stickyness.

I might just add this to the list of jobs for scotty when he gets to do some chassis work on the thing.

Thanks again Guys.

Cheers
