![]() The best investment you can make to achieve this outcome is to ensure you have quality tyres fitted as in these circumstances the grip of the tyres is the weakest link. If your main concern is about coping with the odd emergency stop on public highways, read no further – the standard brakes will cope with this with plenty to spare. Racing on fast circuits certainly does require more from the brakes, so upgrades are definitely needed.įor the road, I usually observe that if you are wondering whether to uprate, then forget it – if you drive that hard, you won’t have a licence for long! Both of us were very competitive, so the brakes had a hammering. (Odd bit of smokey, but no fade – though wear at the rear was a problem) Another MGBGT owner here competed in the New Zealand Targa rally for 8 years on an identical set-up and also never had a problem. My key reference point here is rally use – I always rallied on standard discs, calipers and drums (but with well uprated linings) and never remotely had a problem in stopping power. For normal – even exuberant – road use, the standard brakes are fine, especially if fitted with uprated pads and linings.
