I've had times where I've gone too hot into a corner, and the brakes have saved me.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bit unbalanced with those though....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercuryT Member 53 Member For: 19y 6m 8d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 21/11/06 04:21 AM Share Posted 21/11/06 04:21 AM I have recently fitted the setup that Simon @ Nizpro recommends. What a difference this has made, great feel and awesome stopping power!They are a 4 pot CSC caliper with a 356mm grooved and vented rotor with alumininium hats. These JUST fit inside the standard 17" rim. Unlike the Harrops as pictured they have 3 bolts at each end of the caliper for reduced flex. I think Simon sells this complete kit for about the $3,250 - $3,500 mark, they come with great pads (Ferodo 2500) and have so far proven to be excellent.I have attached a photo of the setup (Sorry about the brake dust, it has been 2 weeks since I washed my car, Victoria on Stage 2 water restrictions!!)
