[DeTomaso] Volvo 240 Brake Calipers

[hoppe1 at cox.net]

I have superlite II calipers with ventilated rotor up front.
I used to have the stock calipers with an extra caliper set in the rear with portafield brake pads.  

The superlites are not as good as the old system I had.  The old system would really stop the car with a solid pedal.  The wilwoods are just OK at stopping and are much more spongy.
