Another Prefacelift Brake Upgrade

[Macca]

Wouldn't it just be cheaper and easier to get some FL hubs and then get Evo brembos?

I thought our standard brakes were good with redstuff pads and slotted discs?

if you use it alot on the track..

everday driving.. greenstuff is enough or try the qfm hpx ones..

 

[dwarfmarine]

Funnily enough, standard unslotted rotors and AR1M pads pull up rather well

This is what i found about the Cadillac brembos on the DSMs which are also 130mm spacing. http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=218171

Accidentally stumbled upon this..
no idea on price, might email them tomorrow jut for curiosities sake..
radial mount
130mm mount centres
Suit 295mm rotor (also available to suit 330mm)
25.4mm thick rotor
47.4 rotor offset

Or perhaps these are a closer match
130 centre
24mm thick disc
47.4 offset.

AP Racing? Sell a kidney!

Awesome stuff though.

 

[Abusive]

Here's a rough idea I guess. Brembo's might be cheaper

[Schneider]

Looks like $500 per caliper
CP5100 gives you an extra 1.5mm on rotor width - might help with brake fade
CP6600 is probably the brembo equivalent

will still need a bracket

will still need a bracket

i need to stop researching things late at night after a long day..

 

[Anton_Willows]

Since the new tyre's and a good alignment I've found braking is much better (as expected) and the stock rotor's and current pads do a pretty darn good job. Eventually I would like some braided lines and new rotors but since the recent improvement its not on my list of high priorities anymore. Oh and understeer is no where near as bad as it was before, still present but nowhere near as bad.. Just goes to show how important rubber is!
I will stay tuned to this thread however as I am interested in options when it comes to pfl brake upgrades.

 

[random101]

Oh now I'm confused so which brakes will fit my PreFacelift?

 

[Akys]

how much are you willing to spend? FL VR4 drivers get brembos. PFL VR4 need FL hub for brembo conversion. Other aftermarket may be available but be ready to fork out LOTs of cash.

 

[random101]

What's the deal with this then from the previous thread?
**
The rotors slide on no prob ( after removing\modifying stone shield )
calipers bolt on no problems except for the bolt being to long by 10mm(easily fixed)
attach the lines
and bleed them out etc
and have fun stoping
correct?
yes or no would be helpful
then ill write up a guide if i go through it

[qball]

Thats true when you drive a facelift or have installed facelift hubs as Alvin just posted

 

[random101]

Ah yep okay cheers, looking to source some hubs now

 

[random101]

Just need to make sure Galant FL hubs are happy to go into the leggy (Silly question I know but, yeah to be sure )

 

[CANDEE]

Yes Legnum and Galant hub carriers are the same.

 

[naughtika]

just a reminder, you will also need the FL ABS speed sensors
