Big Brake Group Buy

[Dan@DB-Power]

There's no time like the present so lets get the ball rolling on this one

Options available:-

360mm Kit using Evo calipers

360mm Brembo brake discs
Evo 6-9 calipers (not included)
Stainless Steel Braided Brake Hoses
Bracket and fixing hardware.


I know the disc is a little big, but it's going to be hard to get the caliper to fit on a smaller diamter disc, so sadly this kit will be for those with 18" wheels as I can't see them fitting under 17" wheels

These will significally improve your braking power over the standard 2 pot calipers with 296mm discs



320mm Wilwood brake kit which are speced as follows:-

320mm brake discs (Evo discs)
Wilwood 4 piston calipers (Alunminium calipers with stainless steel pistons)
Stainless Steel Braided Brake Hoses
EBC Yellowstuff pads
Bracket and fixing hardware


This kit will fit under the 17" evo wheels, and give you excellent braking power.

Both kits will be on par with each other, the main deciding factor will be wheel choice

Prices:-

The prices will be in bands:-

1-5 kits

360mm Plain kit £295
360mm Grooved kit £325

Wilwood 320mm Plain kit £600

5+ kits

360mm Plain kit £265

I'm sure they are both designed for PFL's, but you don't say this anywhere.

[Dan@DB-Power]

Yep sorry, both are only available for pre-facelifts

[aboo]

So the Wilwood kit would bolt straight on to a PFL without FL hub carriers?

[Nutter_John]

Dan what pad compound are supplied with the kit ?

[Dan@DB-Power]

aboo:-

Yep I have made it that way, it seems that facelift owners have alot more choice i.e. the whole Evo range of brakes, so this is a special for pre facelift owners

Nutter_John:-

Wilwood kit comes with Yellowstuff pads

Dan

[Pugme]

let me see what funds say at the end of the month im a maybe for the wilwoods, if not ill be talking to you dan about the other option.

Wilwood kit comes with Yellowstuff pads

Dan

[Nutter_John]

Was going to ask if red stuff or blue stuff could be had instead of Yellow which wear very very quickly

[Wodjno]

Yeah Quite quickly i would say

Have you used Yellows John ?

[Nutter_John]

I have not used yellows but have replaced a set that had been on a car for one week and worn out , I also remember your experience with them as well

[foxdie]

Hi Dan et al,

Is it possible to use Carbotech XP8s with the Wilwood pots?

If so, which ones would fit (if you know)?

Like the others above say, dubious about using Yellow Stuff due to increased wear and operating temps..

[Dan@DB-Power]

I'll find out on other pad options, but I have loads of Wilwood kits on 200SX's and Skylines ranging from 350bhp right up to 600bhp and they don't seem to have issues with Yellows

I think you need to ask yourself whether Yellows for VR4 standard brakes are just bad i.e. because you have yo apply so much pedal power just for them to do something

I had a set of Yellows on and found them ok for braking(no excessive pressure needed) But they were down to the Metal in a Tad over 700miles. That included 17 laps of the Nurburgring and the trip over there. On the 17th lap it was metal on metal. Had no probs with Reds or Blues though..

[sampsulo]

any chance we'll get these for the facelifts? i like the willowood brake kit

[stuey]

There was a n issue with the Yellowstuff pads a while back apparently.. Now sorted as new compunds in last year or so are much better..

Had them on two different brake set-ups on the Chevy over he last 10 months with good results on both.


(would go Carbotech/Pagid/Carbon Lorraine if I could afford it though)


Good on You DB for getting a pretty affordable pre facelift kit out there..

[Ghost_2008]

I had yellow stuff pads alround fitted 18-24 months ago or so........ they lasted well but the brake dust was quite bad, but they performed excellent once warm.

I have just changed the fronts, they were very low almost to the metal...........

[bradc]

sampsulo, there is no need at all. Just look for any brake kit designed for an evo 4-9

[Pugme]

ok I have fads' offer I can't refuse pop up

im gonna gave to sacrifice my evo wheels tho , maybe!

can I ask do you know the height of evo calipers, iv been offered a set of 4 pot brembos from an aston martin there 11" tall so im thinking the 360mm disk kit will fit nicely

would going for face lift hubs help my chances getting them under 17's?

[Dan@DB-Power]

Personally I still rate Yellows

Ok they may wear quicker than other pads and produce more dust but in exchange that shows they are working

Wilwood kit for the facelifts won't be an issues, as said above it would be the same as the EVO's

Pugme:-

The height of the Evo caliper is 11", so probably the same style as your Aston one, but the mounting holes will be different so the bracket wouldn't work

Changing to facelift hubs wouldn't help with the kit size, but you could run 320mm discs and Evo calipers then
