After having bought these from Tony Lack:duffer: I now have them fitted.

 

They are cross drilled 355mm discs + hooooge Aston Martin 4 pot Brembos.

 

(Also bear in mind that they are fittted behind 19" alloys:nana2:)

 

Thanks to Sykes Engineering for manufacturing the relocation brackets and spigot rings and also thanks to Kev at Vehicle Services for fitting them:duffer:

 

Stopping performance is awesome and they look absolutely superb.............:hyper: (IMHO of course:D)

Everyone has gone big brake mad this week :rofl: :rofl:

 

Seriously though, they look sweet! :bow: :bow: Nice one :D

One word.... awesome :bow:

didn't fancy scrubbing the Aston mark off and putting brembo or Z on though?!!

 

They look awesome and i love the colour!...would suit my gunmetal Z a treat!

One of the best looking an practical conversions ive seen.. love um...

what did it cost for the extras? manufacturing brackets & fitting?

Well it was done at "mates rates";) as a flight in the Apache Simulator was useful currency;):D

ha, fair enough!

 

doubt anyone is significantly interested in car transporters to render that a useful swap!

Beat yer Philis,I've got 356mm 8 pot so there.:D:tongue: I can ring Tony and tell him you have them fitted now as he keeps asking.Look great tho Bud :D

Big brakes all the way :D:D:D

Do you have to change any settings or balance when putting big brakes like those on to stop the wheels just locking up when braking? Look a fantastic upgrade

Abs is affected so would be worth scraping it.

No ABS on mine, so no probs with brake system settings. I do get a massive increase in stopping ability tho':D

looks fantastic mate :duffer:

if you upgrade the front and the rears in proportion the the ABS is not effected

however the master cylinder and piston are matched to the standard brake performance

and even with hydraulic action you may not have enough "capacity" to move the increase in pistons size and amount of pistons their full travel therefore not getting the full potential of the brake upgrade .......

 

upgrading brakes isnt as easy as just bunging on big discs at the front and leaving it there, like everything else , maintaining the balance is the key

lovely job there phil.. whered you get the discs from chap?

Bought the disc, pads, calipers and braided brake lines from Tony Lack. Apparantly they come from an Aston Martin DB9:D

 

The relocation brackets and spigot rings were made by a local engineering company, Sykes Engineering - http://www.sykoracing.com/ and fitting was carried out by Kev at Vehicle Services in Knaresboro.

 

The 19" alloys which I had to buy, as my old 17"s weren't big enough to allow fitting, were bought from another member on the forum:duffer:

good job matey... maybe you should swap them for my r33 brembos? those db9 ones will be better suited to my tt :tongue: muhahaha ;)

nice one m8, glad you got em fitted, i may be able to get another set..............he he
