Thumbs up A update on our brake calipers

It's been a while, but we are still working on them.

I expect to get these on the machines in June. We have spent the last few months redesigning them make them slicker , I think they was a bit bulker before and did have room to flex like others did point out.

We was going to use Peformance friction discs but we are currently talking to Ap to see what they can offer.

Will post some techincal info soon as we have finished writing it up

Looks good, I expect a good price for the initial batch

Will these be painted or anodised and are you doing some rears as well

Which pattern pad will these accept? The same pattern as what are in the New Age STi 4-pot gold Brembos, per chance?

Plans were to get them hard anodized, But we have just finished some Ducati parts from 7075 and had them Black anodized , with that grade they are very hard wearing and strong so we will have them in a range of anodized colours,

Regarding prices, I have no idea on the retail prices yet as I have to wait for AP for prices for the seals , discs etc .. after testing and when we are sure they are ok to be released they will be going out at very good prices.
I can't sell these myself, but dealers will make them very tempting!

It makes no difference really, end of the day we will be in competition with them wether they sell us parts or not

Will you be displaying your name on the caliper like ap, ksport etc do or leaving a blank finish?

Might be nice to etch, carve what ever you call it something like the model name ie

Sti
Type r
Type ra
P1
WR1

Etc just to make them a little more personal to the car model, just a thought but flame suit on lol

Best of luck

Chris custom writing with a nice cdf logo on say the bottom corner in some fancy flowing / italic lettering could be classy and still be brand awareness and noticed by people, as said best of luck and hope it all works out

It would make sense to have a "CDF Racing" logo on them, for promotional purposes. Obviously.
