Rally Design for Wilwoods - but try and get the ones with dust seals (can of worms).

I've got some M16 Hi-specs and they do look great and weight nowt - try them direct.

No contacts for calipers - sorry.

Could try a group buy if everyone wants the same calipers and they fit the standard discs - I can look into this if you like.

Been thinking about an upgrade soon myself.

I was going the Wilwood route until Hi Spek recently released the Sierra direct fit calipers. So no messing with brackets.

How big are the discs usually on Sierra's as the HiSpecs are for 260mm discs only.

After a full set of ultra lites, (hand brake operated ones for the rear), non ventilated discs and bells, Sierra fitment.

Hi-spec have never replied to any of my emails. Kit car workshop have, but only after Ive badgered them and over a period of 2.5 months!

Hi the last time we tried to fit a pair of hispec ones to a sierra they had no chance of fitting and had to be re machined and a bracket made. Never use hispec direct they are a waste of time try the kitcar workshop but they are still dependent on hispec for supplying the right callipers.

cheers matt
