_Shane_ Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Anyone on here using a set of these brakes and calipers ? Do they clear wheels easily ? I know it says on some of them that a minimum of 18'' is required etc What do ye make of these brake upgrade kits ? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 jamiep did... I think they are good value for money. considering that you can get the front and rear setups for the same price as a brembo/ap/endless setup. However the UK spec brakes are very good!!

_Shane_ Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have uk spec but im changing to 8 pot D2's 356mm discs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 why? what brake setup are you running? braided lines? OEM discs, OEM pads? what bhp are you running? from what mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchaos Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 i have the 8 pot 356 on mine, when i fitted them they seemed like a well bit item. Aint really had much chance to test them as im still completing my car at the min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG BLUE Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I am running them and for my level of driving they work well and I haven't had any issues (but I haven't really stretched or tested them beyond fast road work). I run 356 8 pots under 18s on the front and 3G discs with BFG hoses, Enless pads on rear and a brake stopper. My 18s have good clearance though.

bmx1lew Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 £750 for 8 piston 330mm or £850 for 356mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 £750 for 8 piston 330mm or £850 for 356mm Where did you find that price? I couldnt find them that cheap even on Ebay. Was going to get a set but was warned off in the end by a few people. You get what you pay for. Went for uprated race pads (CW) on UK spec and they are DEF. man enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Hayward Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Does anyone know if the larger set (356mm) will fit under 18" Kei Racing D1's? Or will I need to get the smaller set. Also should I bother upgrading the back set at all? I dont do any track days in my car, but fast road use is a definite. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doing one end wrecks your brake balance and can make brake performance worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
