bolarbag Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I was in a porsche GT3 the otherday with those Brembo 6piston monoblocks, the stopping power was phenomenal!!! 170 to 100in what felt like 2car lengths! I'm sure I got quoted £1850, which aint bad at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Retail is £2780 for the Racing 6 Kit, which is expensive I know. But if you want the best £2400 is about the best I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Are you after something purely for looks Jamie? If you were to speak to CW I am certain he would recommend a UK based setup with good pads. What are you intending to use the car for, is it going to be a track machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I am looking for a brake upgrade too. So far, I found the following front big brake kits which are in the same cash region : - KAD 6 pot 355 mm - StopTech 4 pot 355 mm - Brembo 6 pot 355 mm (£150 more expensive than the others) - AP Racing 6 pot 355 mm - Brembo 4 pot 355 mm - Rotora 6 pot 355 mm - Rotora 8 pot 380 mm What are the opinions ????

Monoblock or Gran Turismo? The monoblock are the pick of the bunch there imho, you can't really go wrong with the big 3, Brembo(AP), Endless, and Stoptech, If the monoblock are out of your price range then I'd say the AP's are good vfm, but then so are Stoptech(6Pot), Endless is an aesthetic caliper and they perform very well too, but their just too pricey, your paying the extra for the look rather than the extra performance Pretty much all kits come with rubbish pads(or just not the best), expect to pay around 500 a set for decent ones, or maybe do a deal with the supplier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll sort you out the best deal I can on KAD, Stoptech, Brembo and AP me old mucker. My Stoptech's have just arrived through the door now so I'll let you all what I think of them in a couple of weeks when I've track tested them. My old KAD's are up grabs by the way.
