Front Break upgrade and supension tuning? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Aviator_6 on  Thu May 12 14:27 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Does any body know if upgrading to larger front breaks is a good idea. Does the car really slow down noticably better. Is it a sound investment I do lots of high speed driving with frequent break applications during my one hour commute everyday. I usually go through two sets of break pads a year.

Also are the rear breaks the same size on the S70 as the 850? I'm wondering if it is possible to buy the S70 upgrade break kit and add the mounting bracket to my 850. The S70 Break upgrade kit from FCP Groton is a whole lot cheaper than the 850 upgrade kit.

Finally, what would be the best steps to flating out the ride in high speed curves? My car tends to bank more than I like on sharp curves. What componets should I add or replace in a step by step process to solve this problem?

Thanks
Aviator
