If I upgrade my brakes to series 2, do I have to change anything else besides the lower control arms, stub axles, discs, calipers, swaybar and mounts? Dont need to change master cylinder or anything do I?

FTG does a kit that comes with all that you need to do the conversion
you only need to change the parts in the wheel arch area.. not the master cylinder or anything no

Yes, you should also upgrade the master cylinder to series 2 - they were different between the two models.

The ser2 master cyl supposedly had a higher capacity prob more for repeated hard stops, if you have the ser1 in there it may be ok but you would hate to find out the hard way especially with those rice burners burning around the streets. zig zag what lane any lane, whats an indicator? neva heard of it.

diff ratio meaning what that there is more brake bias towards the front or back? well if there is people running series one mast cyl and no problems maybe dont worry about if for now just install the calipers and maybe put it on the cards in the future sometime.

There seems to be a rush on ATM to change from S1 to S2 speck. Why aren't the DBA slotteds and good pads enough for standard driving?
