Chris Wilson Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 These calipers would probably cope, but the discs wouldn't as they are lightweight castings, and you'd need heavier endurance discs with more internal vanes. http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/148405-wrc-spec-alcons.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll find the more effort you make in this respect, the more people will be willing to help you with questions about your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Also does anyone know where i can get endless CCX pads from? i have been searching everywhere with no luck. The Endless CCX pads are by far the best fast road/track pads I've used. The CCX pads have been replaced by the new Endless MX72 pads, they're not cheap but well worth the money IMO. http://www.endlessusa.com/#!__brake-pads/mx72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Are stop tech worth the extra money over Ksports? Yes. K sports are BUDGET brake IMO. You want ultimate brakes you best pull out your credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 It helps stop bulkhead flex that allows movement of the master cylinder V pedal movement. In other words gives a firmer and more responsive brake pedal actuation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hi, I am notoriously known for my late braking and i currently have j-spec brakes which i can fade them in seconds. I will be upgrading brakes soon but was wondering for the mean time is their anything i can do to the jspecs brakes to avoid brake fade? what discs and pads? Also i was looking at the ksport 380mm but i really don't want 19" alloys. I need advice on what brakes to get, I was thinking of uk brakes but i don't see them being able to not fade. Anyone have experience with 356mm ksports? I know you might be thinking decent uk brakes (Pads and discs) won't fade but i am sure a few 170mph - 40mph will fade them pretty quickly. Also they need to work on the road and track. Before anyone mensions i can't afford AP Racing/Brembo brakes Work on your braking?! It will be much cheaper and keep you alive much longer You should only ever drive within your abilities, given your surroundings (especially when on the road!) Anything else will result in tears, one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 what do the cusco brake stoppers do on the master cylinder? Under medium to heavy braking the brake master cylinder can flex away from the firewall, the brace stops it from moving, helping to firm up the pedal feel and transfer more of the braking power to the calipers. They make a noticeable difference as there can be quite a bit of flex, especially on the Supras that came factory fitted with the smaller brakes.

caseys Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If you REALLY have the need to brake repeatedly from a genuine 170 to 40 mph you need proper endurance type brakes, with serious size endurance spec disc castings, massive calipers and big pad areas, with proper race type pads. You will have to go to AP, Alcon, or Brembo for them, from their race lines. It'll all be bespoke stuff, with bells and brackets needing drawing and fabricating. You are talking of dissipating huge heat energies repetitively. You may even have to look to water cooled calipers. If the need is genuine you will find the off the shelf stuff won't do the job. These calipers would probably cope, but the discs wouldn't as they are lightweight castings, and you'd need heavier endurance discs with more internal vanes. http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/148405-wrc-spec-alcons.html Chris, You win POTW I think George, Can I ask why so late on the brakes though? is this for big straights? Surely there comes a point with track driving that late braking will unbalance the car when you're going for the apex as there'll be load on the front end? Unless you've got a really rearward bias setting? Then though surely mid-corner braking/throttle stability will be awful. Thought about a parachute if it's for drag?

Ian C Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I think it's pretty obvious we are talking about these speeds on the public highway, can we stop tapdancing around the truth and pretending please, it's embarassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
