Hi folks.
I have been noticing that apparently there is a shortage of new rear brake d=
rums and original wheel cylinders for a mk3 GT6. I either find 'non availabl=
e' as far as the drums or for the rear wheel cylinders, a smaller diameter b=
eing the only available ones.=20
Any experiences here? I will try to see if rebuild kits are available on the=
cylinders and may have to reuse my drums, which are sort of at the max diam=
eter limit.
Also, what's the scoop on the Gt6's brakes? Are stock ones good? My car has a=
booster, is it really necessary because the Spitfire never had one and it s=
eems to stop well.
Are those upgraded discs, like EBC and others really any better? Or are they=
just cool looking, which will it matter to me because I am using the stock w=
heels, so you can barely see the discs anyway.
Take care,
Joao
