Brembo Clearance Urgent

[TomT]

Hey Guys,

I've got a limited offer from someone for some brand new fg 6 piston brembos at a good price and I need to confirm this weekend.

I test fitted my 18" Lenso D1Rs today over a set of 4 piston brembos and there is miles of clearance to the spokes but only about 3mm at the ends of the caliper to the rim, maybe closer to 1-2 as the wheel weights come past.

Can anyone definitively tell me if 6 pistons will be an issue? I've heard if I can fit 4s I can fit 6s but still skeptical.

Would ring racebrakes but its a weekend.

Here's a few pics to help:

I was under the impression if they cleared 4 pots the 6 pots would be fine

But I'm fairly sure they are no wider but longer.

In my case width is not a problem but length may be?

that very tight.. I like it tight.. lol

if it's that good a deal then buy the brakes. if they don't fit sell them or buy bigger wheels.

^^ agreed

Plus surely the 6 piston's are longer or wider but at least a couple of mm and would cause dramas

[discostig]

Do the 6 pots wrap further around the disc and not actually protrude out radially any further than the 4s? That would mean same clearance, just covering more of the disc surface.

But yeah just buy the sixes if it's a good deal.

That's what I've heard Steve ^

They curve with the disc

I'm not even sure if it's that great of a deal haha.. full brand new 6 piston set with genuine pads, mounts and lines for $2k, just need rotors.

In comparison the 4 piston kit (with rotors) works out 2900 from racebrakes, so almost the same after rotors for 6s

Just get them lol need to stop with all that new power you have lol
