GeGe6 Donating Members 1,980 Member For: 12y 9m 7d Gender: Male Location: Perth, SOR Posted 19/08/13 12:24 AM Share Posted 19/08/13 12:24 AM Just wanted to find out what brake upgrades people have done with G6E Mk1 lux rims. With Clearence being an issue with big brake upgrades like Harrops and Brembos was interested to see what upgrades others have done. Also was the upgrade worth it? If you have pics post them up.....

old_mate Member 767 Member For: 19y 2m 1d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 19/08/13 11:55 AM Share Posted 19/08/13 11:55 AM I have a pretty basic setup - Remsa pads and RDA slotted rotors with some Mainlube brake fluid.They took an absolute hiding at Queensland Raceway last happy laps, and whilst braking performance was average at best after three flat out laps I never lost the pedal like some blokes would. Was fairly stoked with how they held up actually.Having said that, Brembo's aren't too far away. I am fortunate enough to have rims that clear brembos.

When you say your soon to run Brembo's do you mean with lux 19's or different rims?

If you had wheel spacers could you do it?
