Brembo Conversion
Had the newage Brembo brakes fitted to my classic yesterday courtesy of Richard Henry in Bradford. They stand out a mile off!!

looking sweeeet :notworthy
how much did they set you back if you dont mind my asking fella Dave :thumb: |
What are the brake's like now..
I have a set to go on to mine next week.:norty: |
Soooooooooo much better than the standard 4 pots, the bite is so much better and give you much more confidence to brake later.

of course looks matter, if they didnt matter Brembo wouldnt have painted them gold and red
|
sory mate what was i thinking???
Banny your car might stop better now fella but put the original **** ones back on cause they just dont look right through Kilos eyes pal! mayby cause he smoked a Kilo! LOL joking apart why do they look ****e ?????? |
cos its a white car with a black bonnet. And gold calipers dont go well
|
in that respect its personal choice though id say! and thats fair enough but hes upgraded his brakes, increased his stopping power and improved the spec of his scooby with this mod! he could paint um pink if he wanted but atleast the hard works done lol!
|
Im only kidding you numpty :lol1:
Before he bought them i knew he was buying them ;) |
I've got these on my car, They are a great upgrade on a classic.
I had to learn all of the braking points all over again, I'd be putting my foot on the brakes as per normal coming up to a roundabout and I'd end up a good 100 yards short!!!!! They are fantastic in the dry, but be careful when it's raining hard, I have to dab mine first to clear the water off them before they bite really well. I think it's down to removing the dust guard. |
LOL Kilo i had a skinfull of Vodka last night! my head hurts!! lol!
so how much would you expect to pay for an uggrade like this all in?? certainly interested! |
look good mate
am getting mine done next week fronts and rears will post pics :thumb: |
I used the hubs, discs and 2 pots off a newage wrx, so braking balance is still pretty good.

How much ???

Looking good, what size wheels are needed, can you get away with 17's?
Cheers |
17's will go on at a push but you've gotta watch what wheels you put on... The spokes on some wheels won't clear the calipers...
You can overcome this with spacers... but then you run the chance of the tires catching the arches... My 18inch Prodrive reps clear with ease... painted my brakes with Halfords red brake paint... then added some e-bay white Brembo stickers to them... finished off with a few coats of lacquer... I hated the gold... but each to there own... http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/7818/dsc00300zl4.jpg IMHO this brake upgarde is a must for any classic owner... Nice one Banny... looking good and stopping better... |
The wheels I am using are 17" and they did not clear the calipers, so I had to use a 10mm spacer and longer studs to clear the calipers. I have no issues with the wheels catching the arches. Scoobyslammed you car was partly responsible for my upgrade as they looked soooo good on your car, I thought it would be rude not to fit them :thumb: ;)

Thanks gents, both looking good :D:D
|
