Best Brembo Setup?
« on: 21 June 2012, 20:38 »
Been looking into this for a while now guys but I would appreciate some of your thoughts!

For those of you running brembo or porsche brakes, whats your setup?

Anyone else got any ideas of what they would go go for?

LCR Brembo's, Porsche 996 rears, Porsche 996 fronts, others?

Cheers, Hoggy.

I run stock vented setup with uprated hoses, uprated fluid and better disc pad combo and it performs extremely well. Unless I was going over 300bhp I'd say its more than adequate with them upgrades compared to stock setup when I compared it too a friends car.

how you got wheel spacers for the brembos.

You can fit the LCR brembos under 17"...maybe even 16s. Just throw some spacers on if you cannot clear your alloy.  :wink:

They will not fit under 16" (312mmis the biggest) and are a tight fit under 17"s

Lcr wheels are 18" but u can get them in 17" which are quite rare and the brake disc is 323mm. The ibiza cupra r also had the brembos fitted but the brackets were made to pair with the 312mm brake disc.

Im running 18" R32 reps with 5mm spacers so shouldnt be a problem.

LCR's seem to cropping up a lot here, guessing thats the setup to go for?
