Gaz Walker Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Originally posted by MONKEYmark if you was spending that sort of money would get some porsche brakes and get them fitted. im sure you could get them fitted with a bit of work. UK spec brakes are better though, according to Car and Driver mag. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 You can get the porsche Movits fitted, but its pricey and you gotta have the right wheels! Mate of mine fitted them on his Impreza, looked awesome and F*ck me did it brake well!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Originally posted by Steve W On the bikes, everyone aspires to Brembos..... or at least up till now... now it's a mix of Brembos, or, the latest RADIALLY-mounted Jap' calipers ??? (some tosh about circular 'forces' onto the rotor ?? - I'm sure THEY think it's important - sells R1s/Fireblades anyhow eh? What are they then? I don't keep up with the latest bike stuff anymore. I saw a Kwacker that had like wavy brake discs, looked gimicky to me though, is that what you're talking about Steve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Radial brakes are different , they bolt on in a diff. way to normal calipers , pretty academic on a road bike , i dont know many people who even use their brakes to 60% capability on the road Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 yeah, I just did a search on the subjet. Seems like change for its own sake, like Steve said. You're right about bike brakes as well Dude, the brakes on my Blade are plenty powerful enough for any road riding I ever do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point exactly but take it to a track and youll be begging for better brakes after an hour Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 nah, I'd be knackered after an hour of track riding. That stuff is really physical . . . . . but you knew that already. duh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 No need to mess around with Porsche brakes, Brembo make two big brake kits for the Supra (fronts) and will soon be releasing a rear kit too. Overkill for most road use but handy to have on the track.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Chris Wilson can supply AP and Brembo kits that work with the standard UK spec calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Seems they will replace for free if they ever fail! Along with the whole front of your car? 100% show-car stuff, which makes them fine if you're building a show car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kromc5 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Those are some nice looking brakes. I have been searching for an alternative to brembo for quite some time. What really amazed me is the company is 10 minutes from me. I live in durham nc, I will try and get by their and speak to them. I have never heard of them at any of the import shows here around here.
