Thanks for the replies!

 

I don't really want to install a servo to run 4 pots (not for now at least), so I'll probably stick with a set of 2 pots. I'll probably buy the MiniSpares kit, but with wich calipers? Genuine or MiniSpor calipers? The price difference is BIG (£450 Vs £600)

 

Thanks once again!

Servo with the 2 pots is still great.

Just get the 4 pots you will be happy they are better than the 2 pots without servo.

I run Minisport 4 pot callipers on my pickup and the standard 8.4 set up on my other cars.(all servo-ed)

I cant feel a difference, but they do look nice.

The 4 pots ought to be fine without a servo. The pistons, combined, have almost identical area to the 7.5" & 8.4" two pots. The idea is they offer better mechanical advantage with better leverage on where they grip the discs. They are dimensionally much like the Metro's, which were originally introduced without a servo - though there's still cylinder bores and pedal leverage to consider.

 

Locking the wheels is the limit for your braking, but you can still have better feel and control if you don't have to stand on the pedal to do it.

I'll take all your opinions and reviews in consideration and buying my new brakes.
