Default front brakes advice.

Well.. after to buy a set of used brakes to a forum member.. with shot discs. The discs dont are 330mm, they are 300x22mm and stars my hell to have brakes... Because i need new bells to have big rotors...

I have 4 pots brembos GT for máximum 328x28mm rotors .


I have two options:

1.- New rotors and rotors hats (bells) to have 328x28mm.

2.- Godspeed 335x32mm kit for 550gbp with new pads. And to buy a set of 4 pot subaru calipers 150gbp. 700gbp I think that this is the best option... (Do the calipers touch in 17" st`2s???????????)


I need the brakes for rally use. This is my car https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...rally-car.html


thanks

I can supply you 330mm x 28mm discs and bells to fit your brembo calipers for £450 a pair , or as you say you can fit our 335mm x 32mm kit with Subaru calipers , both kits will fit under your wheels
Cheers Ian

look on 4pot pads vs brembo pads and ksport 8pot pads and will have answer+ 4pot even brembo vs 8pot.
ksport 8pot pads are approx 25% bigger then brembo pads

I used to run the godspeed 335mm kit on my newage, I got on with the kit very well, they worked great and I abused them on many a track day. I got my kit 2nd hand but I have never seen another set come up, just luck of the draw I guess.

I only changed when I needed new discs and a full set of K sports came up at too good a price to turn down, these are better because they are 356mm front and rear

But I was very happy with the godspeed kit and never suffered any fade at track days unlike many people running brembos.

Happy stopping!

With the KSport/D2 brakes a lot depends on the pads, the supplied street pads are rubbish (and THAT's putting it mildly), but with the right pads they are very good for the money.
