Title: Big ass brakes! At last
Post by: SI74 on 12 October 2012, 11:30
Got my brackets sorted for the big brakes really looking forward to getting them on now, did a few pictures with the old caliper that I used for the 312. a mate made up the brackets there a pure work of art.

They sure are big! Will be interesting how they actually feel and what the brake pedal travel is like.
Title: Re: Big ass brakes! At last
Post by: SI74 on 12 October 2012, 12:49
They will be 100% and the pedal feel will also be grand there's are the 18z ones not the 17z.  A good few of lads on R32 owners are running them.

Nice brakes   :smiley:,  you can't beat big brakes  :tongue: :drool:. Sorry I
Have a thing for big brakes...
Your mate's done a good job on the brackets. I take it he's got a CNC machine? What colour are you going to paint them?

Post by: SI74 on 13 October 2012, 19:19
Yea mate he's got a full work shop he does work in at night, the mans a genius he's made me adapters, EGR delete as well and making a rear brace at the min like the Unibrace.

Not sure on colour yet, likely black I feel red would stand out to much.

Daayumm there big, lol.
I fitted a set of set 6 pot wilwoods on my supra with 14" rotors. They are also massive and will hang you on the seat belts if needed.
Cost a big chunk of money at over £700 and that was second hand. New ones retail at about $2500

Red would be good, you need a bright colour to show them off. I've been looking at the unibraces, he would knock another one up for a fee would he?

They look epic, I like red but they will clash with the candy red my centres are painted.

Bullyboy give me a day and I'll send u a PM about it. It shouldn't be a problem.

Not you mate,

And just for the record Q7 and pads 6'5kg the R32 and pads 8'5kg. 
Title: Re: Big ass brakes! At last
Post by: Bazmcc on 17 October 2012, 23:35
Maybe not exactly twice as light but significantly lighter.  Size to weight ratio really is incredible.  This is fully loaded with all the pins, clips, pads and brake line.

P.S. I'm not here to get into the argument.  Just to post this pic really. :)

Ahhh ok mate no worries haha
I think the 10 pounds may have been on there own with no pads, fluid or line
