Depends on budget really. My uprated Tarox discs and Mintex pads came in at around £100.

I already have ds3000 pads and dimpled and grooved disks

May help if you expand on what you already have then, including wheels. I am sure the Wilwood stuff needs 14" wheels as a minimum. It might also be a servo and master cylinder upgrade you consider, unless you have already done that?

My car has the ate set up with 236mm discs and a Corsa b brake servo I have ds3000 pads and all braided lines I also have a golf rear disc conversion it's for a tarmac rallycar so I'm just trying to upgrade the from t brakes without going up a rim size as the car is set up well for 13" wheels just wanting to know can I upgrade anymore or am I maxed out with 13" wheels

Think you are maxed out on 13" wheels. There may have been an 13" RFX wheel that you could fit 4 pots under but can't remember where I read about it. I also recall reading about someone who was trying to find various 4-pot calipers to use such as ones off m'bikes but don't think an answer was found.

That's what I thought I was just thinking someone would have something figured out thanks for the help if anyone knows anything else let me know

All depends on which 13” wheel you are using - it’s the offset and width which have a lot to do with clearance as well.

I use 13” wheels on my car, and I’m pretty sure Jezz Francis does on his Nova too. But we’re using wheels which aren’t in FWD offsets, and are also much wider than is normal.

Mine uses a 4-pot caliper from a motorcycle, along with a very slim solid disc.

I’m guessing you are using ventilated discs?

A previous post post mentioned Revolution RFX, I seem to recall they had the most calliper clearance for a FWD offset 13” rim.

What is the "limiting" issue with your current setup?

Fade after a few stops, not stopping quick enough once warm, lock ups, no lock ups?

[greene94]

Just want to be able to leave the braking later so more stopping power

[RallyMarshal]

what tyres are you running?

[greene94]

Khumos proper rally tyres

[Stuart]

can you lock the wheels up at speed?

[greene94]

Yep I can at speed just wondering if I can get 4 pots will it let me leave the braking later

[Stuart]

I've a sneaky feeling you wont actually gain much, if anything from that.
Given you have enough braking power to lock up, its now the tyres that are the problem really (or you holding the braking at threshold)

Have a look for Mini (the old shitter than the shit new one type, I really dont like either) 4pot kits, as they goto 13" max usually
