Does anyone on here run upgraded brakes,if so what set up are you using?
-
Most people running 312mm up front.
-
i got the 288mm ebc ultimax discs and green stuff pads.work quite well for me.not much dust on the wheels iva
-
I run the 312's up front myself,but since taking the car to stage2 i feel the brakes are letting it down.They just don't bite hard enough.
Anyone running better than 312 brakes?
-
JWelsh is but I guess you already know that! BaV has R32 ones I think.

How about getting Ferodo DS2500 Pads :smiley:
Im only running 312mm front and the 256mm rears.
-
how much cash you got? Ben has something in his shed with porsche stamped on them that he may be persuaded to part with for the right amount of moniez.
They were actually on display in his house until his missus moaned at him for scratches on the window sill :grin:
-
what pads and disks you running?
have you got air in the system?
ive got the 312mm and 256mm set up with plain ebc disks 'n' red stuff pads all round bite is great!
you spoke to jwelsh12 hes running massive porche brakes!
the next size up from the 312mm is the r32 334mm

Thought 323mm was the next step?

Patch - have you seen Tabs thread where he has fitted 996 rear brakes to his Bora thus retaining the 312mm disc?
I'd be tempted but running Anni wheels means I'd need 15mm spacers for the fronts! :shocked: :shocked:
-
That'd be fine with the anni wheels,they are only 7.5J iirc.Would sit flush with the arch

i'm not a fan of spacers so hence why i've never pursued the idea

i havent personaly used hi spec, but know people who have them and they very impressed, i think they are up there with the likes of wilwood

Speak to Daveb about a Porsche setup can run 312mm, 325mm or 330mm discs
the 330mm uses alfa brera discs and cost about £130 unlike the ECS R32 discs Bav is using which cost £500 + vat + shipping :lipsrsealed:

Need 10mm spacers with anni wheels and 20mm with LCR calipers
-
I run Tarox 6pots up front with tarox grooved versions of standard GTI discs at the rear.
Patch I have Ianb s old car - you already know what its like I beleive.
Pretty effective but not cheap come replacement time :sad:
-
Patch, f**k the bigger brakes! Extra unsprung weight = great inertia = less acceleration. Those DS2500's are all you need, my friend! ;)
-
p.s. Demon Tweeks used to do them for £125. P/no. FCP590H for the fronts. Search Google shopping. ;)
