jevansio Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 cool mate, might go for a set of these next year at some point, they look the nuts. You finding a difference with the stopping power using these compared to the UK fronts? Oh yes, I'm still not through the 200+ mile bed in procedure, (although I will be by the end of the weekend), I think if you ask any BBK owner they will give you the same answer, are they essential, no, are they great, oh yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 i'm sure one of CW's post mentioned that there shouldn't be any difference in stopping power compared to the UK or even the J-Spec ones. Imi, don't worry, the fact the UK specs are inferior isn't going to detract from your £18k price tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Imi, don't worry, the fact the UK specs are inferior isn't going to detract from your £18k price tag tut tut my take on fancy brakes - not worth the price tag for feel and looks - I am sure on track it will make a difference however my car is a street car for public roads - personally I dont delude myself in thinking its some sort of hypercar Good luck with your sale too.....carry on bigging it up as if you need a ARDS license to drive it - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Nice one a bite, now I can go to town (in my thread) which I couldn't do before Street car... called "Blackwidow", it's a fucking disgrace to the 911 GT2 which coined the name, better off calling it "FuckingCarWhichCan'tGoOver3kRpm" I don't know what an ARDS is, but I have no outstanding sale, I I drop my prices when I find they're extravagently priced for what they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudsey Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Car is looking great Jay. That camera you have there certainly does the business, very impressive indeed.

dandan Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Looking good Jay, glad you got the fitting problems sorted in the end i'm sure one of CW's post mentioned that there shouldn't be any difference in stopping power compared to the UK or even the J-Spec ones. I have made the following assumptions when working this out: - AP disc diameter 362mm - AP CP5555 caliper (38.1mm, 31.75mm and 27mm pistons, uses a 54mm depth pad) - Same coefficient of friction between UK and AP setups - All pads sit 0.25mm in from the edge of the disc A front AP setup based on these numbers yields 1.18% more braking force than the stock UK setup. I don't have any data for the J spec brakes but if someone has the piston size, pad depth and disc diameter I will work it out. The mechanical braking force calculations obviously ignore the BBK benefits of unsprung weight reduction, potentially wider pad selection, reduction in pad knock back and the associated improvement in feel, consistency, and predictibility. Jay - if you let me know the actual disc diameter I will amend the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
