Rb26dett Clutched February 27, 2008 Share February 27, 2008 Lots of brakes system can kick Brembo arse in stopping power. Prodrive, AP & Endless Evo/WRX equipped cars have out brake Brembo STi/Evo at Sepang. I personally tried Prodrive & AP brakes before...and they rock !! prodrive is really good... i tried personally on my buddy's wrx(non sti)... braking power is way superior than its stock ones... prodrive calipers are good.they are made by alcon . i used to own a set of front prodrive bbk but sold it away when demodding my car. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicz Neutral Newbie February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 What you saw is prob a case of never use enuff glue... The front Brembo cover drop off liao... Tell tale signs of a stick on Brembo... Stock rims. You will need to change to afteramarket rims to clear the Brembo (real stuff). If offset not enuff...cannot even fit. So des ne.... i was conned! these people so cheapo siah! they think by putting that will impress others meh???? u see hor, people like me got con will say he siaw, one stock vios also put brembo, people know what it is also say him siaw bcos he so cheapo.... so at the end of the day its a making of a fool out of themselves rite...

Relagsingh 4th Gear February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 WRX STi / Evo / FD Civic Type R are some of the Jap rockets that uses Brembo as stock brakes. Make no mistake...Brembo are good stuff...but I am saying there are better stuffs. The new WRX Spec C STi comes with their own Subaru 4 pots (diff from the base rex) that is supposedly better than the Brembo on the STi (280bhp) you mean the pig nose GD spec C STi RA-R? I think those are 6 pots. the calipers come as silver when brand new amd it turns gold after usage. very cool. the new hatchback GRB STi sport 'STi' calipers, but they're still brembos.

Relagsingh 4th Gear February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 the brands more commonly seen in the int'l racing scene are Alcon, AP and Brembo. but if toking about more a established OEM, its gonna be AP. they have custom made BBKs for almost any car, can even special indent. they make clutches for automotive and marine engines as well.

Yuan 6th Gear February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 Recently I saw AP stainless steel braided hose on sale in one of the more popular accessory shops in the West. Then I was thinking which brand of braided hose is better, ie AP or Goodridge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relagsingh 4th Gear February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 get AP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 Yup...the MY07 Pig nose Spec C. I think those looks like 6 pots too...can't remember liao. I think the new STi (hatchback) is using the Brembo from the MY07 (Pignose) STi-S (black color Brembo). Motor Image got a fake STi on display at the showroom in Toa Payoh.

Phochem Neutral Newbie February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 Brembo do have good stuff, just take dunno why most on the road are fitted with their lowest range product. BREMBO 8POT TYPE R MONOBLOCK. 380MM rotors big enuff??? http://www.biot.co.jp/parts_brake/8pot_typ...pot_type-r.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 3rd Gear February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 No comments on users... To me is...to each his own. Up to the individual...its like those who dress up their TS/GLX to look like WRX/Evo....owner happy can liao lor...why bother. There are people who like to dress up their cars...so there is a market for such stuff...like replica rims designs etc. My place got a fake WRX...owner gone thru a lot of effort....rims...bodykit....and recently...even got the base rex brakes (real stuff)....now all he needs is to change the TS seats to bucket item....and almost transform liao.

Zze121 3rd Gear February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 Most ppl dun mod their car, some do minimum mod to save cost. For high end stuff, some r over kill as they dun need it base on BHP. For those who like to race, better change their brake and tyres with racing spec, recent accident show that drivers r the major concern rather than the car itself.

Ghostrider 3rd Gear February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 Crash dun blame the car. 100% of the time single crash (that means car lagar tree...go in longkang etc...) the fault lies with the nut holding the steering wheel....or like my friend like to put in....problem is between the steering wheel and chair. Change to race specs liao but blain never upgrade common sense...still will crash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlovz Clutched February 28, 2008 Share February 28, 2008 this is definitly one nice looking BBK. Need at least 18inch rims to clear... Think this front 6-pot alone cost something like 8k just for the front...in Japanparts.com But i couldnt find the rear 4-pot lei....it only has the rear 2-pot. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
