Si's massive new big brake conversion WP 8 pots with 365mm discs and awaiting six pots for the rears.

Truly awesome looking.

Thats better, they look good :cool:

Do they work well? and how much? :)

Paulo P 06 August 2003 12:53 PM

8 Pots :eek: they look fantastic :cool:

Markus 06 August 2003 02:09 PM

ooh, interesting. Question is, how well do they perform against 6 pots? from the looks of things, and looks can be deceptive, the pots on this would be smaller than on a six pot, so the braking power might be the same as a 6 pot kit.

Do look nice though.

ozzy 06 August 2003 02:24 PM

The do look :cool:

It's not all about the amount of pots/pistons, but the actual clamping force from the caliper. A well design 4-pot caliper could outperform a poorly designed 8-pot. I'm not saying these are before I get my head bitten off ;)

Truely amazing.

They look wicked. Hope they perform as good as they look.

:D

awaiting six pots for the rears
Why?


Vanish 06 August 2003 08:06 PM

why not be rude not to for the price Si paid.

SiBurt 06 August 2003 08:23 PM

Hi guys!Thanks for your comments.The truth is i was down @ Crossroads in Shipton on Stour for a coupla bits & pieces when the samples arrived,& the rest,as they say,is history!As far as having the rears done;firstly,lets just say im kinda hard on my brakes,& secondly they just look the bollocks,dont they?!!!!Whats the point in spoiling the ship for a coupla extra grand,eh?And anyway,its only money!!!And you cant take it with you,can you?...er,GULP!lol.Anyway,i am a very happy bunny.They perform far better than they look (YES,THEY ARE THAT GOOD!)and as far as i am aware,mine is the only STi8 running with them @ the moment...That is until Rum takes delivery of his new STi8 on September 1st.

Mr.M 06 August 2003 10:14 PM

Saw them in the flesh 2nite. They do look the dogz!

They look like they could stop concorde!

Guys this may sound stupid, but when you refer to 365mm surley that is not the diameter of the disc?

ozzy 08 August 2003 11:24 AM

yes.

Stefan

Diablo 08 August 2003 11:26 AM

Yup, it will be the diameter :D
