Well after my epic fail of a track session at castle combe im now on a mission to improve my stopping power.

this is what happened to my discs whoopsy....

 

 

 

these are the puppies.....

:D

 

 

Now....where the hell do i start? do i fit some discs that i like then make the messurements to fit the calipers?

 

I was thinking to fit them on my discs i have at the mo then once i have them fitted buy the same discs but without the drilled holes and just slotted. But i have no idea what discs they are, il give z1 a call soon, maybe they can help. The only prob i had with them discs was the cracking, other than that the brakes always felt responsive and never had any fad even on the track.

 

obviosuly im going to have to clear the wheel spokes.

 

Anyone know of a good enginering shop who can messure and make brackets to fit these? they are brembos at the end of the day.

Wow, looking good!

Looking good mate.

 

Can I ask what size & offset wheels your running. I'm planning on using Porsche GT3 6 pot calipers & 350mm disc, just woundering about clearance.

 

Cheers

Im running 18 inch fronts on a 8.5j that are et32 but i have 20mm spacers fitted so my offest is +12 on a 225/40/18 tyre.

 

Getting there :cool:

 

I use to have those discs they are very good. mind didnt warp no matter how much you pushed the brakes

 

I also had some on the coop and the calipers seized on the brembos. got all the way home (50 miles) with a smoking disc and it had turned blue and still no warpage :D

They are really really good. I have gone for 356mm all around. When you slam on all the blood goes to the front of your head and you feel funny for a second or 2 :rofl:

 

my 1st upgrage were 315mm ebc discs 1 year old

 

Fronts

 

 

Rear

my ebs discs are 324 r33 discs bit bigger than the 315mm. ah im so happy to finally rid of the stock calipers and have me a nice solid larger monoblock. Not sure what im gunna do with the rears yet.....

fluids always been new dot 5.1, it came out clean so ive just bled them again, already have the brake stopper :D

> fluids always been new dot 5.1

 

Very bad idea on a brake system that was designed for DOT3

Do not use anything over DOT4 in a Zed
