Big ass brakes! At last
« 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.

Big old stoppers there then!

Completely overkill, but they will look pretty epic!

They sure are big! Will be interesting how they actually feel and what the brake pedal travel is like.

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?

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.
