Come on guys (and gals) show me some pix of your front calipers (OEM or aftermarket) as I need some ideas:D (pix with and without wheels fitted are both OK)

 

I have an aftermarket set to fit and I'm undecided on colour/decals so need a bit of inspiration from y'all:)

 

What have you got?..................................................................:confused:

Black R33 brembos but no pics sorry :(

Mine are just cleaned up stock calipers with repainted lettering. Kinda like the grey colour of them. Don't really like brightly coloured calipers, especially on tiny little stock calipers. No need to draw attention to those! LOL

 

If/when I go for a complete big-brake upgrade, then I'll be getting Tarox front and rear in the grey with silver lettering.

That's pretty serious, maybe there was a manufacturing defect ?

Maybe but just imagine a 35mm thick disc slightly warped and spinning at 150mph then asked to stop in anger the vibration on the disc simple ripped the Brembo from its two mountings.

 

 

Thats the disc in question and the rusty one beside it is from a stock TT

Mac were the calipers modified in any way?

I have R33's painted Blue with 345mm Brembo discs.

 

Have pics at home somewhere or you can see them in the vid in my sig below.

I got 330mm discs with stock calipers painted black with polished lettering.

Or maybe one of the mounting points had a defect/crack, and all the strain was focused on the other.
