Servo - yes or no ?

I do question the advantage of fitting Plus 2 callipers to the front on a 2 seat road car. On my Elan that has good brakes, the wheels lock with ease, so better braking on the front will only upset the balance, won't it? Or is it a mod just recommended for track cars or cars with a bigger tyre contact patch / sticky rubber?

The bigger brakes make no difference to how quickly you can stop, that is down to how sticky the tyres are. They do make a difference to how many times you can stop quickly. The large pad and disk area get rid of the heat better. Only really of use on track days etc. I find the extra bias towards the front better as well, it only locks the rears if I stamp on the pedal rather than pressing it.

Thanks, Steve, that makes sense! I guess that my road cars will stay with their originals.
