But ive heard of cases where the dust seals have melted in emmense heat and caused the pistons to bind... But agreed i'd get the sealed ones, especially as we live in the UK! | |

Andy's right - any 4-pots you decide to get MUST have dust seals, otherwise you might as well not bother and just stick to V6 brakes. | |

The only problems I know of where HiSpec rotors have warped or cracked is where people haven't bedded their discs in fully before using the brakes. | |

quote: I run Wilwood Midilite 4-pots. They're very good and unlike much of the Wilwood range, fully dust sealed. Set of Callipers and 285 dics will set you back around 500 including VAT and some braided hoses. Talk to Rally Design if you're interested http://www.raldes.co.uk/ | |

Well you can fit 350mm with 6pots on their if you have the wallet!! Yeah i'd deffo say that Wilwood are the direct competition for HiSpec, their aint a lot in it but ive heard BAD stories about HiSpecs rotors warping and cracking, I dont know if they have sorted this yet. Im just saving at the minute for the HiSpec 285 Billet 4 kit ;) | |

Do you want BIG 4pot calipers or JUST big discs.... HiSpec are pretty good, as are Wilwoods... What size alloys are you running cos us Vauxhalls have tight space for 4potters. | |

Im gonna get some uprated brakes on the astra...want some big disks and calipers and also the rears changed to disks...at the moment its mainly for show but the brakes on my Astra are shit anyway....but im also gonna do a conversion at some point so I may aswell get brakes that can cope with more power. |
