Subject:      Big brake kit question for `87 Syncro
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I am looking for input from any that are familiar with the "Big Brake" kit
that Go-Westy sells supposedly from SA parts as a direct bolt on for our `87
Westy Syncro.  I already have 15" SA alloys so clearance is not a problem.
I need to do the front brakes soon anyway so part of the cost would be
absorbed and I came across someone local to me that has a never installed
kit for sale that I am considering making them an offer on.


My concern is down the road when it needs new pads, rotors, or calipers how
easy or hard will they be to find?  Stock brake parts are readily available
but what about SA brake parts?


Any one have knowledge on this subject?


TIA
