MidnightMods 45 Posted April 27, 2011 The track gtr is having a hard time on the brakes, Want to upgrade the brakes. Where is the best place to buy a kit these days, looking something like a alcon kit. 360ish mm or around that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edd-GTR 2 Posted April 27, 2011 Hm, I suppose call up Alcon and get some info on what calipers/rotors best suit your application? Then ring around and find a good price from someone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MidnightMods 45 Posted April 27, 2011 That was the plan With the aud/usd so good, would be good to find something over seas too. Local everyone wants way to much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edd-GTR 2 Posted April 27, 2011 Everyone is going batshit for Willwood in the US nowdays, could be worth a look? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MidnightMods 45 Posted April 27, 2011 The lack of dust covers over the pistons puts me off, esp tracks like sandown and phillip island having large sand traps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mop 1 Posted April 28, 2011 No race kit has dust boots. The piston has internal o-rings just shy off the inner edge only small stones n dust wud gather but unlikely to push past. Any way why are u in the sand traps anyway lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blingcommander 278 Posted April 28, 2011 if you never end up in the sand traps you aren't pushing hard enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edd-GTR 2 Posted April 30, 2011 Get a jap kit? GReddy make kits. Hella expensive though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mop 1 Posted April 30, 2011 I import brake kits by Option Motors they dp 330/355/380mm kits 8/6/4 pots full kit front n rear works out at about half that of a greddy kit. We run a greddy kit on one of our subies and option kit on another of our race subies and also on a mk5 gti golf. Caliper kits are almost identical across the difference being brand name.
