what set-up did u use?

I have this big brake kit and its definately a worth while upgrade and then if you want to goto R33 calipers afterwards, they just bolt on and you can sell the adaptor :D

i want the big brake kit but cant use it due to the design of me wheels so am havin to use standard size stuff

i have got the full ebc drilled/grooved discs with red stuff pads and they stop me very well indeed from any speed

 

disclaimer: i never ever break the speed limit on the public roads :tongue:

i have smithys big brake kit... Looks really good, pitty its only looking good on the floor of the workshop atm, Grrrr

 

Not very helpful to the topic, but thanks for the goods smithy! Quick delivery and understandin when i sent him a million e-mails...

what set-up did u use?

Mintex 1144 pads and the 3g brembos (slotted) good setup and a vast improvment iff you want to keep the 16" wheels like me :)

whats the difference between gooved and slotted?

Drilled, grooved, dimpled and slotted, just different terminology mate.

Slotted usually a name used by those outside UK, Grooved usually used by those inside UK. :)

I run 17" rims and had problems fitting Smithy's big brake kit because of the design of my wheels. :mad: The spokes caught on the callipers so i just fit some small wheel spacers and hay presto problem solved. :dance:

 

The blurred pic shows the catching calipper.David Bailey eat your heart out LOL.

Don't worry mate, rubble fitted my "big brake kit" thats entirely different to what Znut had, which was standard sized improved discs and pads :)

Hope that explains it fella.
