What Kneale said, and an additional comment: because it's been
converted, you can now install BIRA brakes quite easily(you have the
right hub+strut.)  You'll enjoy the porsche calipers a lot; I noticed
in driving Greg's 200q20v, as has Taka after converting his 200q20v,
that pedal modulation/feel is excellent. They will at the -least-
match UFOs for braking capacity.

Maintenance is quite easy; bleeder is very accessible, on the front;
if your wheels are open enough, you don't have to remove them to
bleed the calipers!  Going to the track and want to put in track
pads?  Take wheel off, pull pin, pads practically drop out in your
hand.
