New "Cheap" Big Brake Alternative (Brembo+300mm discs)
- Thread starter SmokeyTheBandit
- Start date
yeah can't see that fitting with decent clearance.
Depends how far you've gone with spending on it already.
Plenty of people do 5k on an engine so is 1k on brakes silly by comparison?

Not pointless Chip - we use the triangular cut out bits for door stops.

I like how it looks like a little mean face! It's the simple things I guess.

Are these aluminium brackets a safe way to mount callipers?
If made correctly yes, and im sure the pure ones are.
Dont forget most of the 4 pot and 6 pot calipers are aluminium anyway, the bracket doesnt need to be any stronger than the mounting point on the caliper.

All depends on the type of aluminium you use and the thickness. These are realy good and strong.
Because the bracket is rather big an thick it should have no problem at all.
As i said, it already survived several trackdays
They've already seen a world of hurt there
Both kits really.
Although I am particularly interested in this set up, using the 406 brembos

I presume these wouldn't fit under none spaced turini's, cup offset?
MX5 NC 2.0 Sport
Is not going to be sufficient, you need a pretty big offset to get away with these.
I know the rears don't do much,
but when my rears need changing might as well get bigger ones
Why?
Are you looking to increase your unsprung weight in order to reduce the cars handling capability for some reason?

FYI anyone doing the math and doesn't want to search: The 16" Turinis on the 172 Cup are ET38.5. The 16" Turinis on the 182 Trophy are ET45 (same as the 16" 182 Cup Anthracite wheel). So the Cup Turinis are like running an 8mm spacer on the Trophy Turinis. All are the same 7Jx16 size.

Our brackets are made of steel not ali. And they fit behind standard Turinis or standard 5 spokes with a 10mm spacer.
Bigger disc = better handbrake turns yo!

Well i haven't encountered much more travel to be honest.
Was pretty sure i would need to upgrade the mbc before i even mounted them but im going to keep it like this.
Maybe the dot 5.1 made a noticable difference but im not an expert on that ?
Unless i come across an absolute bargain for a bigger mbc

Has anyone on here ordered the caliper mounting brackets from the company that makes them (motex performance.nl)?
Did they arrive?
I ordered some on the 09/05/2013 which fell on dutch bank holiday week, anyway still no sign and the company isn't the most helpful tbh. Looks like a paypal claim is on the cards.

I dropped them an email a few days ago to chase it and mine turned up that very day!
They were helpful with my enquiry

Ok thanks George at least they are legit then
Don't get me wrong they are helpful but not enough! Especially after nearlly a month. I have been in contact near enough daily for 2 weeks. At the end of my teather with it now lol...
Have you fitted the brembos yet? Any good/problems?

Post your results when their on guys

Have to get some other grease on the pads so they squeek a bit but other than that works like a charm
Just a small note, the 300mm discs are a tight tight fit so you can here some scrubbing for the first few miles.
The flower stops/looks like a boss with this upgrade especially with my new wheels :evil:

My brembos haven't turned up yet and I need to figure out how big the spacers are that I will need for 182 cup wheels. Could be a while yet.

Looking good smokey!! When you say scrubbing where abouts are they scrubbing?
My calipers are all painted up and ready to fit, George if my brackets eventually turn up and you haven't sorted spacer sizes i will get a 182 wheel out the shed and measure up for you.
Note to anyone looking for these calipers. Go on ebay and message every person who is breaking a 406 v6. You may drop lucky (find un educated person) and get a very good condition pair £50

The scrubbing is due to the disc expanding a bit when its hot wich makes the disc touch the caliper a tad.
It will solve itself realy easy but just so you guys know.
