should weigh the same tbh, but you may want to uprate your front brakes to match engine output

cheers,
what brakes would be best to put on there?
would calipers off an xr3 fit?

RST S1 front brake set up should do it or van ones

I don't think you should put big ones but if you prefer it then you need to do some adjustments.

You really need to adjust things if you want front breaks. You would also probably spend a bit more than your budget and usually costs around 200-1000. Buy from reliable sources with quality products.
