(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Ok I have started shopping around for some 4 piston brakes because I have reached the limits of what the stock ones can handle at the track. With racing compounds and rotors the stock brakes flex way too much on their guide pins and that causes the pads to wear very unevenly. By that I mean this: Here's a video showing the way the caliper flexes once the pads have worn unevenly. That is all caused by me doing this: That is using Project Mu Club Racer Pads with DBA4000 slotted Rotors. Combined with Yokohama A050 semi slicks you can see why my brakes are copping a bit of a flogging. They actually do a fantastic job of pulling the car up, the problem is with excess heat causing my ABS sensors to start melting, and rapid/uneven wear of consumables - this alone could justify the cost of a big brake kit. So far here in Australia I have been quoted the typical range of incredibly overpriced bullshit and a big problem is the lack of aftermarket brake kits for this car. I can get Alcon or AP racing kits made up but they need custom brackets to be fabricated in order to fit. Quotes i've had range around the $3500au mark which is roughly equal to the American national debt once you convert the currencies. Consumables can also cost quite a lot with these setups so ideally I would want something that have alternate rotors (DBA5000 preferred) and pads available. TLDR: Who knows of/sells a bolt on 4pot brake kit for a 2010 MS3/MPS? Last edited by Reedy; 01-30-2013 at 03:35 AM. |
