Brake Upgrade

[Fred@BTM]

no as its not needed on kits using standard calipers

if you mean on the wilwoods, then again no (you fitted one of ours from memory)

i went for the Brembo High Carbon discs, Pagid Blue pads, and goodridge lines from yozza.

More than happy with em on road - need 5 mins to warm up, but are great.

will be testing them on track in december.

enjoy changing ure rear lines though - they are fiddly bitches. LOL

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah i've had brake fluid and rust in my eye balls a few times LOL

aye i was on about 4 pots. the mk 2's dont have bias control is what im getting at lol.

yeah i've had brake fluid and rust in my eye balls a few times LOL

LOL i got a flow of fluid in the hair, which resulting in me shouting "BOLLOX" which resulted in crap falling from car into mouth. Yummy!! worth it though LOL

having said that... what i cant understand is - why bother changing the lines when the rears have another set of rubber lines just before the calipers. almost seems pointless.

Bias adjustment? what for?

When i used to run 97's and the cheapo brembo discs they were stunning! For the ultimate effect you really do need to work out some kind of cooling system.(yozzasport sell the cup kits but its stupidly expensive for what amounts to some pipe and some plastic, not that its thier fault)

If you disable the abs its even better.

What other rubber lines?

 

[stan*]

bias adjustment....to increase the bias to the front brakes when you fit 4pots.

otherwise your arse end will be overtaking you!!

edde nothing in the world is perfect!

pads on average aren't actually much cheaper, in some cases you can pay upto £700 for pads

you tell me how much replacement discs costs for 4pots! massivley more expensive!

Depends what disk there made for my old 4 pots were for stock disks so £30 a corner or less.

[Fred@BTM]

only if you buy a kit do you get the fluid (ie pads lines and discs)

drop me an e-mail and i'll price it up

 

[Andy_J]

email sent..

 

[Batman]

i just got the brembo max brake discs - ferodo pads - braided lines - 5.1 fluid for a great price and there worth any penny, the clio already outbrakes loads of cars so why does it need anymore then uprated discs and pads? it doesnt.

 

[martynh]
