So once again I'm planning my cars conversion and I still feel that a Beams will be the easiest way for me to get the results I want.

 

With this in mind selecting the right brake and suspension set up is obviously crucial. Reading some of the information from the professional companies like Hoppers Stoppers and Wilwoods, it seems like there really needs to be a lot of thought put into choosing the components. One thing I noted in particular was choosing a master cylinder to correctly match the caliper and disk choice.

 

Is doing one of the cheaper options, like 86 struts with RX-7 calipers and something like the R32 master cylinder going to be a good system? Or is it just going to get me by and maybe through engineering.

 

The companies that manufacture full brake replacement kits only seem to fit 15 inch wheels and bigger, and my wheels are currently 14 inch (Toms Igeta). So if I went down that path I'd need bigger wheels to begin with. Beginning with is of course the biggest problem which is why I'd like a clear vision of what I need to get.

 

Engine should be putting out around 250hp and over 200 and over 150 ft-lbf so obviously that's the first consideration. I imagine the RX-7 caliper upgrade should be able to handle it but I don't know. Help?
