Brake Porn Maybe?

[Ducky]

Thought I'd share some more of my brothers car as everyone loves something different :mischeif:, he's just working on the brake setup at the moment and has knocked this together onto the strut.

Floating carbon discs from an F1 car (can't remember the name/driver), Brembo 4-pot Monoblocks with titanium vented pistons, carbon pads. I've never seen such a WIDE caliper before! The whole lot weighs half what his other setup did (weight is most important to him). Bloody pads are thick enough too!
Enjoy!

very nice, what cars it going on?

and whats the weight of that setup, weights going to be important for my urq when it comes to finishing it off.

It's an '86 Corolla, and I think he said something like 6.5kg's for both sides, but I can always check.

sweet lovely set up.

[Acidburn]

very nice, if I can keep the weight down on mine i'll be happy hence not wanting the 8 pot setup some other forum members have, doubt i'd ever need that much plus if I can find a decent light setup i'll do that instead.

Bet that will stop the car well, the callipers look about the same dimensions as the hp2's for urs4's/6's just with bigger pads.

i take its an AE86? cool cars

[Jamo]

Very nice although the amount of pad overhang is a bit alarming!

[Error404]

surely on a drift car the brakes won't ever get hot enough for these to work?

what truck is this? or is this a freight train?

Some serious brakes there!!!

It sure is!

Lots of pad overhang at the moment, but this is the first mock-up so he'll try and reduce that a bit.

I thought that also on a drift car, but he says they will not have to get hot to work, they just get better as they do! :mischeif:

Absolutely awesome.

s2avant - you need to play catch up and fit these to an s2

Mental brake setup, massively OTT on a drift car though really, even the RCM Gobstopper struggles with its AP carbon brakes unless they are upto temps.

I dread to think how much that little lot stands him in at as I know what AP charge for their kit !

Got any pics of the car at all ? My mate runs a KP61 Starlet which is quite a good bit of kit, I'd love a AE86 with a Lexus V8 on throttle bodies, now theirs an underrated engine

I'd look elsewhere to save weight if your worried about that Pete

yeah thats a nice setup but that pad overhang is going to be a killer as will the fun of frequent rebuilds as they have no dust seals i'd expect.
