Hi John,

As you know I have a 1991 940GLE 16 valve with ABS. I was lucky because last week I changed the tyres and managed to see whats in my car. The front are Girlings, thats what written on the brake mechanism that holds the brake pads. And the back are ATE i.e uses smaller square brake pads. Can I change the front and back to jumbo brakes? What are the parts needed? Can I get those parts from your area? How much it would cost? Can I D.I.Y?

A little bit of extra braking power sure will make a world of difference.

Thanks


regards
