Tom -
If you have a Spridget with front disc brakes, the hot set-up is to convert
to MGB rotors with Triumph Spitfire calipers. Basically puts a bigger
swept area on the front brakes, for more effective braking and less fade.
All it requires is a hub spacer (and of couse the rotors and calipers).
Winner's Circle carries the pieces required (they call it the "Big Brake
Conversion"). It's pretty much a bolt-on once you have the parts.
IMHO, it's great for racing, but us "street racers" don't need it (though
that's not keeping it off my "gee, I wanna do this" list).
