I know this must have been posted many times, but i had a quick look and couldn't find much in here on in tech general, so..
Can someone offer me some advice. I have a VK with *cringe* standard brakes. With *cringe again* drums. I am keen to upgrade to something better, but nothing extraordinary. I have read that a VT upgrade is good at the front, and that has been covered many times. What I need to know is:
Are their better value upgrades than the VT for around/under $1000? (Keping in mind I have not the resources nor the knowledge nor the mechanically-mided mates to perform any work.)
I want disks at the rear as well. Should I just grab a 10 bolt LSD from the wreckers with disks or convert the current setup?
I'm guessing ideally that both these things occur at the same time, but is it essential? IE - I might be able to save enough to get both done at the same time, just I doubt I can handle these brakes much longer.
Another thing, I doubt this car is going to see a motor much over 300hp. But when it does, I want it to be able to stop consistently.
EDIT: Say all up I could save around $1k by Christmas or $2k by March, what the fvck should I do?
Sorry for the long post, too.
And thanks in advance.
