RE: Effective AW11 Brake Upgrade. (Road and Track)

A number of overseas web sites deal with AW11 brake upgrades. Local law requires allows for upgrades but there are 2 classes.

DESIGN , which is required if you start fitting bits and peices off various cars. A mod plate for 'design" requires extensive enginnering calculations and tests.
SUNSTITUTION, where you fit the ENTIRE system from another ADR approved car. a mod plate requires you to prove the entire system is used, and fitted in a factory-like manner.

we can handle both here, but have not done an AW11 one so far.

Effective AW11 Brake Upgrade. (linx)

Hi.

Im quite sure road and track are soon going to be tired of my voice (im getting an engine off them).

I am just wondering.

Now that I will soon have my Engine and suspension sorted out, I was looking into effective brake upgrades for the AW11.

What would be an effective brake system upgrade, I do venture to tracks and often compete in rallies. The standard system does start to fall down and feel a bit soft after a wile (specially when I have slicks on). I would like to ask if you have done work on AW11's for similar situations? Changing pads may have to suffice for the moment, but I was just wondering if it was possible to change the brakes from a later MR2 (either supercharged AW11 or SW20 Brake system... maybe even the MRS braking system or a system from another car, maybe even a specific kit)?

As far as big brake kits go I think they would be overkill for an AW11, also that they would heavily bias the front wheels when even in stock form a little more braking power sent to the rears would help balance a little.
