Finally fixed the shuddering brake problem once and for all! Had the following fitted to the front end of my XR6T today:AP Racing 6 piston callipersAP Racing 362mm 2 piece grooved rotorsFerodo brake padsCustom made alloy mounting hats for the rotors. Goodridge braided lines and AP Racing brake fluid.And it stops! The pedal is a tad softer now, only because I have 6 pistons to pressurise now instead of 2, but once you get those 6 pistons up to pressure, it stops on a 5c piece, no worries. And it can repeatedly stop hard, all day long. Plus it looks soooo good! They really filled the 19's up, dont think you could get 18's on it anymore. It was a very expensive exercise, costing me nearly $6k just for the fronts! But I dont think there is such a thing as overkill in the braking department. You can never spend too much money on brakes IMO.Will post pictures shortly. I have posted pictures elsewhere of the separate components used, just dont know how to link them up!

HRT had the squiggly slots while I think Paul Morris had the normal straight slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you compare this price with the cost of the factory Brembo's fitted to the FPV cars? If so what was the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
