hello
talbot horizon calipers have bigger pistons and bigger pads so more stopping power.

typ 3 calipers have bigger pistons as well beatle calipers should not be put onto typ 3s

a real good elcheapo set up would be talbot fronts typ 3 rear drums braided lines all round topped of with silicone fluid so you never have to tuch it again .

why silicone well its non hydroscopic and half the problems people have are caused thru rust in the brake systems so if you fit fluid that does not attract water then your system will stay in tip top condition .

it is the water in peoples brake lines that can be a cause of brake fade as it boils under heavy braking .

normal brake fluid should be changed every 2 years!!!

people dont do this end up with water in the system rust things stick you get the picture.

downside to silicone well its damn expensive, and your brake system must be truly truly leak free as this stuff really likes to find its own why out.

bleeding out normal fluid to truly change over to silicone can be a right pain.

ask me how i know.

my sqr with cross drilled fronts good typ 3 calipers properly adjusted typ 3 rear drums stops me just fine anything over this would just be purely for looks !
