heres a few pics

the total cost was 9200 including the 24 vane slots cut into the rotors

They seem to have stoped advertising them so I dont know if there still making them but they kill the brembos for performance

Man they look the ducks guts!! If I pulled up next to you at the lights I'd have to give you thumbs up. I'm amazed though you still have a body on the car. The wheels would stop so quick you'd just about go through the windscreen, lol.

Well done.

Nice to see a quality rim and tyre combo AND great brakes.. How often do you come across Chinesey rims and wheelbarrow-quality tyres..? Have to agree with Zap that tyres are critical to handling and braking. Beyond that, its as far as your will and budget will carry you.

The marangonis are good in the dry pritty much as you stated but good in the wet until they get down to 1/2 depth then there a bit slippy but when your pushing out 352kws at the wheels most tyres have a bit of issue with traction in the wet they do have crap side walls I have had 1 just split internally for ???

I am running Maragoni Mythos ATM and they are a pretty sticky tyre . That said I got up the car onto the on ramp onto the M1 in second at the Coomera.

Car stepped out at 90kph. Stayed on the gas. My son said , fark this thing goes like stink.

Sounded great as well, the bloke behind in the Boxter S was just shaking his head.

Back to Advan 103s next

Zapper is 100% right.

In a one on one brake test, if you can modulate the pedal to have the brakes work at their best, ie just before lockup, they will pull up generally the same.I can justify this, as I had standards, then installed a full AP setup, 366 AP 2 piece rotors, 6 spots mono front, 4 spots rear with 330.

Where big brakes come into their own is repeated stops, ease of modulation, and visual horn.
