Brake Kits

[tangcla]

from what i have seen they look like wrx 4 pots and i tell you i have had both (wrx 4 pots with 330mm rotors) and brembos are heaps better.

Looks can be deceiving... They are FAR better than the WRX 4-pots. Significantly better.

Trust me.. My mechanic has a brake fetish, he has a sizeable collection of exotic and random calipers. Calipers from Ferrari, Porsche, Acura, just to name a few.

I know of a couple of people who would be interested in selling their brembo's(fronts at least)...

They are both Perth local though...

If anyone's serious about getting a set, let me know!

these are supra calipers which are 4 pots

I believe the Supra brake calipers are made by Sumitomo.

6 Piston Porsche Motorsport Department Calipers for just AU$1070 including GST per caliper


For front calipers, we found a 6 piston radial mount caliper made by Brembo for the Porsche Motorsport Department, shown in the photo above.

These calipers are of course a special Porsche Motorsport Department caliper, which is not in the Porsche road car catalog. Many Porsche dealers do not even know it exists, because the part number is not in the Porsche road car catalog system.

They feature radial mounting which simplifies installation for custom applications, and provides two planes of adjustment for accurate alignment over the disc. So a radial mount caliper is far superior to an axial mount caliper with "ears" on the body of the caliper.

These calipers feature special ceramic inserts which help keep heat out of the brake fluid at races like the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Best of all is the price of these calipers ... Because professional racing teams demand low pricing on spare parts for their racecars, we can supply these calipers at just AU$1070 including GST per caliper.

They are designed to run on a 350 mm diameter brake disc which we can also supply of course.

There is also another 6 piston Porsche Motorsport Department caliper which we can supply which is designed to be used with a 380 mm disc.

Because they are a radial mount caliper, they can be fitted to virtually any car by using a custom machined caliper adapter and custom hat for the brake disk.

We have also found a 4 piston caliper that can be used as either a front caliper or a rear caliper.



if the 6 pistions are $1000 each these would be much cheaper

all the cars on the list are either heavier or lighter . clubsport 1812kg down to 860 kg for the lotus and the lib was the worst that blow your theory out of the water . its the brake pads that are mostly making the difference in a 100km/h to zero test when fade and repeatability come in to it ie doing multiple laps on a race track and im sure the brembos on the lib would shine but we drive on the street not a race track and the 5 meters longer to stop could be the difference between life and death

why are you sure the brembo's on the lib would shine? If as you say the pads are the larger difference in that sort of test, the Brembo's (and their widely reputed crap pads) would not likely be much better than the 2 pot sliders.

from dixcel web site about there type m pad
on ordinary roads where the brake disc temperature is around 50-150℃, and is designed to perform with maximum potential at the winding road and emergency stops on the highway where the temperature possibly comes up to 300℃-400℃. OEM products work efficiently at general temperatures, but they do not work sufficiently at high temperatures, fading starts at over 300℃, and they do not work well at all.
so what i was saying the pads on the liberty sti are a more performance pad and work much better at higher temp with the trade off low temp friction plus have a large rotor to dissipate the heat,
if you drive a car from a cold climate(snow) the pads have more bite(with lots of dust) but pushed hard they loose the plot

Don't think I've heard a good thing in here performance wise about the OEM pads in the Brembos

may i ask what issue is that? wouldnt mind finding a copy and reading it.

these calipers are the same as the ones on the new 370z they are 4-piston Akebono calipers

[smythie]

big suckers aren't they
