Time for new Brakes - Tell me / help me with what you think to these options?

i think i would go with the baer kit.... thats front and rear discs... stock calipers but stick decent pads on them and decent flud lines, i think would be ok.

whats the stock calipers on them?

more pots is not necesarily better.....

For the 220? I really wish I managed to get these fitted on my car. They used my car for the design of them!

(Gibbo) I'd go for a min of 6 pot and if possible 8 ;)

Hi there

Well been offered too much a good deal on the Shelby/Brembo kit.
One of the guys in the US ordered them for his car but his wheels are not big enough and as such the calipers conflict with his wheels making them no use for his car.

So I am taking the kit of him as its un-used and I've paid him $675 which is a mere £350 for a kit that would cost close to £2000 in this country. :)

Its not got the Saleen branding but its fitted as standard to the Shelby GT500 which has 500BHP and weighs close to 300kg more than my car so I am confident it will give superior stopping performance and be more fade resistant. :)
 
GT500 kit would be my choice.

Cheapest but still 4 pots.

You dont really need anything over 4 pot in a caliper anyway, and at $1100 you cant complain.

EDIT: Just re-read above, bargain.
 
I hope they are awesome andy, but I still think 4 pots on a car of that size will still fade with considerable regularity, that said they will definitely provide initially superior stopping power so thats a good thing :D

for the price you are paying you really cant go wrong though :)
 
sound very good for the price but as Will has already said, I would personally be looking at AP's / Brembo GT's etc. to ensure i had the best possible stopping power - inline with the supercharger adding the best possible going power! ;)

Hi there

True but if they are good enough for the GT500 which weighs a lot more than my car and has practically the same power I am sure I shall be happy.

Afterall the brakes currently on my car were designed for 300BHP. Those are 2 Piston calipers and 12.4" rotors with pads made from cardboard. The new ones are Brembo 4 piston calipers, brembo blank rotors and street performance pads. Gonna be an improvement and people who have taken GT500's on the track have had no fade issues and had considerably superior braking to other cars and as I won't be going on track these should be fine for the road. To much of a good bargain to pass up and it will add a lot more re-sale value to the car. :)
 
Chip Foose swears by Baer brakes...

And they do make calipers as well for the pony...

:D

Duh! just saw you already got an excellent deal on the Brembo's

Nice one

:D

Hi there

Yup very good brand in the US and those are/were my 3rd option. Plus nearly all the BAER brake kits are 2 Piston jobs which kinda proves its not all about Pistons with Calipers as they come very highly recommended.

Still at £350 this Brembo kit is too good a deal to miss up on and saves me quite a lot of money from what I was originally planning on spending. :)
