Cheap Upgrade on your 312mm brake system

[ibizacupra]

could be even worse on 2-piece brembo GT kit peeps...
disk/rotors, they wont sell you rotors alone only complete bell/rotor setup as they say the floating hats wear the bells...
sit down, get the grease out, its going to sting big time

>£300/disk

 

[tris]

£300 each disc? am I reading this right?

 

[slick]

Yeah Brembo 2 pieces are around the £300 mark each...

ECS tuning sets, 355 x 32 2 pieces are around the same figure but in dollars so £300 for the pair!

 

[tris]

My GOD!

Maybe its a good job I didnt buy them

Hi Tris,

Spoke to them and they said they "might get some in" but not sure when.

But yes thats the price you pay for having a good kit tris!

 

[tris]

So lets have a think
£200 ish each disc ?
£150 ish pads ?

I go though discs and pads at the mo on the 312 like there is no tomorrow

Maybe its time to look really hard for LCR Brembo's

 

[olaf]

These should last longer than a 312mm setup hopefully.

Mine turned up this morning

 

[slick]

Ollie have you checked the clearance issue on yours.... your alloys aint the most forgiving!

 

[olaf]

No not looked into it yet.

Have to have a see and work out what I can do.

10mm is the most you will be able to space the front wheel out until it hits the front bumper when turning the wheel, trust me on that one, i know! lol

I guess thou, plenty of people out there to get your money back thou!

By the way... found this

Replacement DISC for the ATE Big Brake kit as above

The price of the caliper ON ITS OWN FROM its Authorised Dealer!


Replacement Pads for the Kit!!

Looks like the discs are as expensive as the GT Brembo kits Tris!

 

[olaf]

Sure I can find some way of getting round it!

Those prices make the kit look even more of a bargain then.

10mm thats it, or new wheels... I'm proof of that....

 

[olaf]

Are you still running 312mm's under the new wheels at the moment then Rodger?

Maybe I need some new wheels then

 

[tris]

Not sure I could be able to afford the running costs of them with the amount of trackdays I do

 

[slick]

Yeah I'm still running 312mm at the moment, but plan is underway at the moment to be running 355 x 32mm on the GT3 caliper.

TRIS!!!

ECS Tuning Kit Porsche Boxster caliper upgrade stage 1 kit.... about £600 when shipped from USA..


Then the pads are porsche pads around £80 and the 312mm are the same as your running!

Sort me out a link then mate please

Sort me out a link then mate please

Stage 2 V1 Kit
Works out about £600 odd, granted you will/may need spacers like unclefester did.

Or if thats a little to rich for you, get a pair of these

Stage 1 kit

This keeps your OE caliper and carrier, but enlarges the disc size to 332mm
More leverage at that size disc..... and its alittle cheaper at £300 odd
Although your need a set of 288mm carriers, which i have if you need them... as its based on a upgrade from 288 to 332!

Any questions mate, just drop us a call/pm

Yes duty, vat and shipping!

But you can only order it if you have a stage 4 kit already...
