uk-rich Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Have a look into StopTech. They seem to be pretty damned good for the money. i was looking at these, they are brembo copys (not a bad thing), but was told by dusty that the brembo's are far better, not much more either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 I am after a s/h bargain or new ones at an unbelievable price lol. Mind you they need to be a caliper that endless make pads to suit, as i dont want to use any other pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Had thought of Porsche GT3, but I drove one and I wasnt impressed, but it had stock pads? My uk supra with ccx and dba outbraked it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebsteif Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 JamieP got the D2 racing front brakes, maybe the rear ones as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I am running the KAD 6 pots on 356mm front discs with 6 pots on the rear utilising the stock rear discs. I have no idea if Endless make a pad to fit them, they are based on AP brakes and as far as I know you can get pads made by Ferrodo and another make that I cannot remember at the moment. There could be more though, you would need to check with KAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Jamie, I would love to know how your D2 work with the CCX which I now know endless do for all brembo/alcon/wilwood etc calipers, so as yours are IIRC the same pad size as brembo, I'd be surprised if the CCX doesnt amaze you. I want to know so much i'd near send you a set to try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the D2 calipers just a Wilwood caliper rebadged? regarding the rears Jamie, you can split the rear hydraulic lines and use an hydraulic handbrake from Summitt Racing shouldnt be a biggy to do.

Chiefgroover Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 IF D2 work the bizz with CCX then we can all have massive fade free brakes, without the black dust, for humble dough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Ahh i see, using the rear calper as my hanbrake instead of the drum, ok ill look into that:) Bad idea, as Audi now know. Park the car on a hill with the handbrake on after a hard run and come back to it having run away lol. Disc handbrakes are deffo not for road use.
