Title: brake upgrade
Post by: davidgtrr34 on 10 January 2014, 20:01
I was looking for a big brake upgrade and found this. has anyone used these or would you recommend anything else. the standard brakes in my car are 312mm, I was thinking of getting 334mm.

I'm not sure if I'm reading that right...

You get carriers, calipers, discs, pads and hoses for £189? That's what the description suggests, however...

KIT INCLUDES

1. Carrier brackets. Manufactured from Billet aluminium for strength and lightness.

2. High tensile cap head fixing screws (allen head bolts).

3. Custom braided hoses complete the kit.

I have read the description and you don't get a full kit. You get a conversion kit to use a porshce calipers (see picture 3) it's the same kit that creation motorsport sell well to my understanding anyway.
