Anyone fancy a set of these on the Golf !!!

LOL, Overkill comes to mind



The team eventually opted for 14-piston front calipers. Each side required a total of 137 separate parts to be machined. The calipers themselves are aluminum but each 25.4mm piston was machined from stainless steel.

The design also called for the calipers to be built in two parts, a front and back plate with a 15mm air gap in between. Each piston cylinder was then finned to take advantage of the air-cooling this gap would provide.

If you look at each front caliper, they are completed by two six-piston calipers, with a two-piston subdivision being used for the hydro-mechanical parking brake.

What do they stop?  An 18 wheeler?

Too much for me, the colour is just all wrong!

[Phil mcavity]

i think those are called organ repositioners

I'd rather drill holes in my head with a hand drill.

....Those are ridiculous!!

So, the calipers stop the car dead and, as Phil points out, your internal body organs get rearranged ....What about the tyre condition and road surface with such brakes? I would pray that the piston damping is up to the job. Plus there are so many parts to go wrong in this brake setup!

Holy moly!  They are big

I wonder if he is trying to do endo's in a car

[Komenda]

This thing has 507bhp, but the brakes may be a little overkill. Completely bonkers car.

[Hurdy]

Eeeuhhh!

Looks like someone has nicked the bottom section of his car

[RedRobin]

....A car of that lightweight simply doesn't need such brakes!
