hmmm thats some coin, i think ill just do stock calipers with slotted & cross drilled rottors, good pads and braided lines. i think that will be plenty for what i need..
but good luck to the guys doing this to s1 legnums it will good to see what they are like when done, GAVDANIELS im looking at you to bring me for a ride when all is done..lol
so is the brembo upgrade on a facelift '01 legnum, easier than a pre-facelift? less parts etc involved?
If you push the brakes and you can't get the car to skid, then you need more braking pressure. As long as you have adequate braking ability to go from slight pressure to complete wheel lockup, then your calipers are fine. Slowing of the vehicle then becomes a function of rim and tyre design and road conditions.
Good point Trav, forgot to mention thatlarger pad to rotor contact area (read Brembos) will also mean less heat generation, which is why larger brakes are always recommended for circuit work, however on the flipside.......larger rotors = more rotating mass which will hurt acceleration.
You can still get a car with ABS to skid Andy - it just won't skid very farABS? No skiddies..
