Re: Girling 60 conversion.

Not sure why you would put those calipers on a 4kq or a coupe.  Pete
Kunzlers 4ktq (featured in EC) has the g-60's on it and has little if any
better braking than my stock brakes on my 4ktq.  This was beared out during
2 track days last summer.  Fade is as bad or worse and the hacking needed to
make them work is not worth it IMO.  The only possible advantage we can see
is the initial bite.  Try a decent brake pad 1st with a good fluid.   And
no, Metalmasters are not a good pad.  You might be suprised what those puny
little brakes and calipers can do.
