[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064734959, member: 2429"] Going bigger is one thing. Going lighter is another. Bigger brake calipers sometimes add weight and the unsprung weight can be felt when you drive. My 4-pot caliper is about 1.2kg only. It's as light as stock caliper but 4-pot so better braking. You want better brakes get bigger, lighter calipers and better pads. Oh brake oil too plays a part - but only if you really are able to cook the oil to overheat which most of the time only really happens downhill touge or track. The other thing about brake oil is how much fits into the bigger calipers. Sometimes the caliper oil reservoir is too large and you end up having to press the brake pedal more for it to bite. People usually upgrade the servos to compensate - but again upgrade your calipers properly. My lighweight calipers also have small brake reservoirs so they pedal feel doesn't change at all. Oh before i forget, your car is probably really old. The original brake hoses are made of rubber and have a lifespan. If they are kinda sorta soft and expand, then it's time to change. Look for nice braided hoses that have a layer of shielding on top that protects it from dust and mud. [/QUOTE]
