    Brakes - Princess calipers or M16

    Hi all,

    I am looking into sourcing brakes for an upcoming project.

    Whats the best option for a MK1 escort? Princess 4 pots or M16? I know princess calipers are a touch pricey but are thay that much better than M16? I also assume a bigger Master cylinder is in order for both?

    Cheers

    I wouldn't use either, ive had cars with both and was very disappointed with them.

    There are loads of better options available, im currently using a Caprisport GTR260 kit on my car, not at all bling, but brilliant brakes and great value for money.

    Where is that available from? Caprisport.com isnt working anymore (well for me).
