Jake,i strongly disagree with that comment mate.
A lot depends on the width of the wheel,the design of the spokes etc....
I dont really understand some of what people say sometimes on here!
Dave brown this, dave brown that!
I worked closely with Dave over a 4 month period! I scoped over 12 different sets of calipers, discussing which brakes cost which amount, which brakes offer which performance! Alot of people seem to mention Dave brown to support there silly comments about brakes?
£120 discs?
? My brakes run off a 350mm disc, and the discs cost me £100! So i would guess at 'Dave browns' rates, a set of 312mm discs, would cost no where near that! How much do 312 discs cost for the anni set up? I have seen them from local trade shops for £30-£40 a disc! So where £120 comes from i dont know!
Spacers- You do not need hubcentric spacers for anything under 8mm, so therefore a wheel spacer kit would cost you around £40
Calipers- ' you would be luck to get calipers for £300? If people actually went to daves house they would start to realise that comments like that are utter sh!te! And the reason i say that, is because dave had a set of Cupra R brakes, and he offered whole kit for £300. THATS THE WHOLE KIT, and thats a 4pot!! Not a single piston 'big brake upgrade'
I think people sometimes need to think about things before they say them! As sometimes, other people do know more than themselves on other areas! brakes are something i invested alot of time and money into! And i looked into for a very long time! So when people come out with comments like that it actually gets on my nerves!
People on forums know alot of different areas. yet alot of people seem to have this' I know more than you' approach! ' you cant tell me, i already know'
Why would you need to source calipers yourself when Dave has around 30 sets in his house?
If your wheels dont take a big brake set up , i say more fool you, choose a wheel that does, otherwise dont put off people who are looking at brakes by saying ' you'll need atleast £600 for them'
And patch if you disagree with what i say, thats your opinion! Im entitled to my own!
