[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 599828, member: 20098"] Have a search on here for the Speedy Jim remote servo kit. There are a fair few people running them and I seem to recall the maths means that you can apply double the braking effort to the drum / disc than without one. There was also an interesting thread where someone did some calcs to show the difference between fitting a servo vs fitting discs as an upgrade to the drum system. I thought the drum spindles could be re-used when retrofitting discs, but only if you go for an aftermarket disc kit that retains the wide 5 setup - so something like CSP, or Fellows Speed Shop. Someone with these kits could confirm. If you swap to a later 5x112 disc setup then this needs new spindles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
