na to nb brake upgrades..

Postby vrmmmpshhh » Tue Jan 08, 2013 9:34 am

hey guys. ive just completed the brake upgrade from a nb8a with the new rda slotted and dimpled rotors and bendix ultimate pads. just wondering if there is anything im missing to complete the upgrade, would you guys recommend the NB prop valve? MC?

i run achilles 123 semi slick tyres and could never get the stock brakes to lockup no matter what i did, after the upgrade they were locking up easily so ill have adjust my braking.
car is aimed at hills runs and gymkhana/autocross.

Definitely. For that sort of use, you probably don't need it inside the car, which makes the instal cheaper/easier. And/or play with your rear pads - softer pads will shift the balance back towards the rear.
