wow that looks like some impressive stopping power

Munro · 27th June 2008, 21:33

Looks good inside the rages as well.

illegalhunter · 27th June 2008, 22:04

They look good, but will cost a fortune.

ChillTypeR · 27th June 2008, 22:24

They look good, you can never have enough stopping power, although i am not a big fan of red calipers. I had them on my cupra tdi and they chipped and went black with brake dust.

kahmed87 · 27th June 2008, 23:21

spoke to xo they said it comes out about the £1200 mark

Mr JP · 28th June 2008, 10:01

Just added these to my wishlist along with "Supercharger"

K20A · 29th June 2008, 02:49

6 pots for the civic

illegalhunter · 29th June 2008, 09:01

WELL £1200 no chance , leather interior first .

I keep looking at the Rotora 4pot mini caliper for my FG2. Apparently it's the only BBK that won't really throw the brake bias out of whack.

Rich 11 · 29th June 2008, 18:34

Porshe brakes only come in at £450

Munro · 29th June 2008, 20:50

ABP do a brake upgrade for less:

ABP Motorsport (Crewe) tuning stuff

POWERSLOT 350mm Front big-disc connversion kit £375.00 inc vat

mattsbobo · 29th June 2008, 21:31

In all honesty, our cars don't really benefit all that much from a BBK (unless you only track your car). Your best bet is to upgrade to ss lines, better pads, better fluid, and better tires. Of course, if you do all that, you still don't get the "bling bling" factor that a big red caliper gives you

ahniu · 17th July 2008, 07:11

I did that.
I did a 4 pot Rotora's slotted disc.
It cost me Sing $3000+.
And also, i went to upgrade the pads to 6000 temperature.
Braking power Increased! But became more noisy...

Yes, think the original calipers need to relocate.
