Brakes (ignore if you replies in General)

Sorry to post this again here but I know some people only frequent certain forums.

Hello people. I'm thinking of getting some Tuscan brakes for my integrale. I know it sounds daft but I have a chap willing to fabricate brackets and bells for me, and for a very reasonable price too. I've looked at the Porsche 'big red' brakes and the brakes on a 355 (seem to be somewhat dinky brembos) they look good but are very expensive because of the name.

I have now found two Tuscans, both with AP calipers, however, one set is a fair bit bigger than the others. It is these that I am interested in. Does anybody know the difference, and how good are they? My car is around the same weight as a Tuscan. Oh and by the way, the Tuscan ones are a lot bigger and a lot cheaper than both the Porsche and Ferarri brakes

The bigger ones are possibly of a Red Rose or S, standard brakes are very good.

Hoorah, a reply at last

I couldn't tell anything about the cars because there was only the chassis left Do you think it's going to be a good upgrade then? The other option is Alcon 4 pot brakes but this option costs £3000 and is designed to fit under 16" wheels so is teeny in comparison. It is also almost £2000 more than I'm getting the Tuscan beasts sorted for.

Bigger brakes with bells are Red Rose only,smaller are S and standard tus items.Both are very good RR better still on track.Had standard breaks on tus but changed them some time ago, now have them on my Corrado race car with new bells and under 16in wheels so it can be done.
