Any of you good people interested in a good quality big brake conversion ? Twill come with high quality cross drilled/slotted discs.

Again expressions of interest only required. This will dictate the price !!

I'll get pics and full specs if enough of you are interested.

I'll be getting a set myself as with 300 + bHp i'll need it (plus parachute blush.gif )

You will be able to specify caliper colour as well whistling.gif

there is no performance advantage for having drilled discs

just bling bling factor
TheDon
but bling is the main factor in everything. hahaha.

TRUE..........very true cool.gif

Big brake calipers together with bigger rotors will give beter braking performance since the the pads/rotor area will be bigger.

The biggest difference will be when you use your brakes extensively. The biggest advantage is that the bigger brakes will give less fading and will still keep their stopping power after an intensive (street? smile.gif ) race.

The main reason for drilled rotors is to reduce the rotor weight, so theoretically it will not improve the stopping power.
Monster-Mat
Alex i dont dispute the advantages of bigger rotors. was pointing out the lack of advantage for drilling........

drilling actually causes the disc to crack if used hard

OK,

Same deal as the HID's looking to import 1 big brake conversion kit for evaluation.

Fargo will trail them for me providing a how to guide c/w with pics and a review.

This will enable you to make an informed decision on buying a set.

Dave

Wanted to trial em myself but HM c & e may have smelt a rat whistling.gif

Any news on these... Price etc??
TheDon
what about having a kit where you supply larger diameter discs and a set of brackets to re-locate the standard caliper further out?
could be a bit cheaper and less effort to install.
whitie
How much further out will the calipers be, I was reading the other thread about wheels (offset etc) and my ones aren't to far off the Alooys already.
SteveAudioX
Be nice to get a ballpark figure for this kit...
ProLex-UK
About £1000 plus shipping etc includes discs & calipers not hoses (will try to get them included whistling.gif )

Depends on exchange rate as well so could be less.
tdiplc
That's a mighty fine price Mr E biggrin.gif

What brand are they?
ProLex-UK
A very good one ph34r.gif ph34r.gif
Serran
dave.. i would be interested

although like what whitie said can you supply details on how far out the caliper will be. i dont see too much of a problem with a 35 offset wheel, unless the calipers have some bling factor in phatness whistling.gif
