I havent found any other rotor that can take the abuse, ive warped stockos and rda's first hiding, yet to warp the t3's.Gunna from memory, t3 fronts, t2 rears(they dont do much work and solid discs are sh*t anyway so no need for t3 rears unless ventilated imo) qfm a1rm pads all round, braided lines from race brakes Sydney and new front hubs(bearings were a bit average) cost me just shy of 1k. I will go the pmu ns400 pads next time around though, same price and as good as a1rm's im told, without the noise and dust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 7m 10d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 07/04/15 10:24 AM Share Posted 07/04/15 10:24 AM I know you're limited with the rims Gunna, but I did the OEM brake upgrade with braided lines slotted rotors etc first and it was a fail on track.If I was you, I'd just run some QFM A1RM pads and decent fluid (which you'll need to bleed after the track day) and, run some good old fashioned brake ducts on the fronts. Will save you poo loads and give similar performance. The harsh realty is, two piston calipers just won't pull up 1800 kegs of barge without cooking their guts on a track day. My 4 piston Brembos with T3's and PBR upgrade rears JUST gets it done. By just I mean fluid is cooked, pedal turns to mush and I need to bleed the brakes after every track day. I'm actually looking at incorporating some ducting on mine also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the engine and said why did I do this to my self lol .Bomber , I will give the T3 a go and the pads that you recommended (they are cheap enough to buy ) I also will run some high boil brake fluid from motul . I agree with you they are a big boat to stop ,with my little brakes . have had the same idea with the ducting for the brakes . on a friends race car he actually has a spray bottle ( electric window sprayer )hooked up to spray a mist every time he hits the brakes ,and he said it works greatcan tell the engine came from a panel shop ,all the bog dust is everywhere on the engine . have to get my compressor and air hose from work again Edited 07/04/15 11:28 AM by genuine honest person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do need a 17" rim though. Edited 07/04/15 07:07 PM by PhilMeUp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
