Building a saxo VTS rally car out of my 1.4 furio mk2...

How hard is it to put disks and calipers off a vtr / s onto the furio with drums...what will i need etc... Will i need to change the master cylinder??

I'm looking for a good but reasonable suspension for the front...coilovers maybe?? What do you recomend for light gravel and tarmac... (guessing the raceline ones are rubbish?)

How hard isit to put braided brake lines on??

Thanks

Rear brake wise, buy a VT rear beam and fit that.

Suspension, you can make a set easy enough with the parts from Rallydesign, then pugsport gravel dampers would be good with whatever spring rate you want to run.

Braided lines arent that hard to fit,espicaly if you just mean the front and rear flexy bits

Its worth saving up a lot of money for dampers. These will give you a massive advantage if you can afford top of the range stuff. Other than cheap coilovers being horrifically heavy, proper race coilovers will have bigger oil capacity so wont overheat, and will have internals able to iron out the bumps more effectively so you can go faster.

Braided lines are no harder to fit than standerd rubber ones.
Ive almost completed development of a full car braided kit that will replace all the rubber and metal pipes and bias valve.
