Hey folks thought this might be a good idea spoke to godspeed and it can be done calipers arent that expensive second hand and brackets and bells can be made up

Just wondering what everyone else think it is quite out of the norm but its good to be different

Steve

 

My boss has one the brakes are huge doubt it could be done on a classic due to wheel size

 

Godspeed can make up 350mm discs and i have a hawk

But sure they could be made to fit a classic

Steve

 

having done hard braking in both R8 & 996 ( variants
Found nothing in it ( the Porsche set up is a simple & easier solution ... For that reason if your upgrading I would go down that path
Ultimately it's your choice tho

 

Steve, contact Steve Whitson of SW Motorsport in Edinburgh, he has a set of R8 calipers and machined bells on his Classic, stopped like you would not believe!

He made the kit himself (very competent engineer) and could easily quote you for a kit for yourself.

Perfect Russell I'll give him a shout have you got a number for him? Or is it via email?

Still okay for the 9th? I'll be home so can take the car up

Steve

 

We have a few kits for customers buying R8 calipers , they work very well , this is a kit we did for an EVO X



They are huge !

 

They do look nice ian are the v8 and v10 calipers different then?

I'm trying to source a set of used ones

What's size of disc are they? As I would need them to fit under 18 speedlines

Steve

 

These were the V8 ones , not sure if the V10 are different , these are fitted to our 355mm discs to fit under 18" wheels
Cheers Ian

 

V8 are RS4 -6
V10 are totally diff design , wich is why I quoted the Porsche set up is a easier solution .
Having owned a R8 V8 .
Now if you were to fit the V10 set up
That's a diff kettle of fish!!!!

 

what type of rear caliper do you have to fit then to compensate for the extra mammoth front calipers on a classic ?

 

My bad
Think it's just the rear's that are diff
Sorry , jst trying to help

 

No worries guys I just fancy doing something out of the norm

I wouldn't know as Ive never had a classic only newages

But I did have 356mm k sport 8 pots on my old blob and had standard rear brembos

Maybe a rear brembo conversion for a classic

Steve

 

What price you looking at if somebody supplied the calipers to make the mounting brackets and supply 355 ap discs and some pads ian? V8 and v 10 mate

 

This mod is gonna catch on I'm sure of it lol

I phoned yesterday and was told no more than 795 but don't know if that was ap discs

To make it feasible you have to find a cheap set of calipers most I've found are starting at 650 and above

I'm probably gonna start trawling the rs forums

Steve

 

Yes our own 355mm grooved discs , alloy bells and brackets are £795 , be about £100 more using AP discs
Pads are quite expensive as you need 4 pads per caliper , so in reality you need to buy 2 sets of pads
Cheers Ian

 

What sort of price are the pads ian? Nothing for track use just fast road in a newage

 

As an example DS2500's are £300
Cheers Ian
