Luxluc Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Similar to Wez's ecu register, I think it would be a good idea to have a front big brake upgrade register too, as many peoples (including myself) have questions on what to go for. Upgraded rotors and pads on UKspec / Jspec pistons are not considered as big brake kits. I would ask to those who have big brake kits on their Supe's post up. I suggest we take the following criterias : 1. Brake kit manufacturer 2. Number of pots 3. Disc diameter 4. Pad manufacturer 5. Rear brake upgrade - if done (braided line, pads, etc) 6. Personal comment on performance (1-10) 7. Brake fluid 8. Bhp 9. Supra use (%track and %road) I will update the front page.

b_have Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Why 9/10 b'have? What made you feel the setup isn't quite 100%? Boiled the fluid at Llandow (JP's fault) have improved the air ducting to the rear of the rotors now so that might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was runnning low boost so wasn't hitting the same highs are you. I'd have thought I'd cook them either their or at the 'Ring though, if they were cookable. I'll try harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Good idea Luc, I think a couple of factors need to be added in though. Brake fluid type and where they are being used, there's a big difference between road and track use. Also BHP might be a good idea as that has a bearing on how well the brakes can cope to.

Paul Whiffin Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 May be add in what circuits they've been tested on as that also has a bearing? eg. Brands Hatch max braking speed in my car is something like 130mph but then go to Snetterton and you've got 2 big stops over a lap, 160 and about 155mph.
