grndsm Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi guys,I was never quite happy with the usual Volvo/Escort brake upgrade, it just wasn't "big enough" for my taste. So I decided to do something on my own!There are Viper calipers with EVO8 rotors.More info here:http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2472999/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Not bad at all ... but make sure you get some protection for the rear seal. It's quite exposed to road dirt as it is now without th eOS back plate ...I used the centre section of the back plates ...As you can see I used a slightly different aproach to fixing the calipers.

grndsm Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Beans, the style of your calipers is quite different, so it requires a very different mounting scheme. I am sure I have said it in the past: “very nice brakes”!As for the dust shield, I would agree with you in most cases, but this car is going to be an occasional, good weather driver, seeing 800-1000 miles per year. So I do not believe that this is going to be a major factor ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Oh ... and make sure that your springs don't bind before the bumpstops come into play ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stricky Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 any recommendations where to get the front springs from Beans, I'll be after some soon too.cheersJon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Got mine from AVO, they do bind under extreme conditions due to the fact that they have to many coils. But any proper tuning/suspension firm should be able to supply them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stricky Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 balls.....just had the dampers delivered by AVO, didn't realise they did the springs as well. What sort of length and rate did you go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
