WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS HAS ANYONE GOT FOR A 4X4 SAPPHIRE FOR BRAKE UPGRADES? I WILL BE RUNNING 400 BHP ISH, AFTER RUNNING IN, HOPEFULLY! WASTED SPARK, T34.63, BD14'S, SIEMENS 55'S, AP 6 PADDLE, PRO ALLOY INT AND FANS, BOSCH 044, WORKS CARRIED OUT BY JAMES @ MSD, TOP GUY!

 

has to be ap,s i went cheep to begin with had a comp brake 330 set up they would fade out so fast put ap,s on and they are miles better never faded iver plus there has been some cheap sets go on here if you dont mind second hand!

 

Thanks for quick reply, i do have a brand new set of ap 4 pots ( says TVR on the side of em ), does anyone know if the fit without TOOO much trouble?

 

i guess you would have to get the model number of the calipers then ask someone like rayland to make up some brakets do the discs have separate bells as you would need them to

 

WILL HAVE A LOOK AT THEM TOMORROW AND POST A PIC ON HERE, CHEERS MATE.

 

yeah AP's mate with 330mm discs awesome power!!! I also running about 400 ish never had a problem stopping.

 

my opinion would be also to go for APs

 

I do have a pair of new AP CP5200 4 POTS, where is best to source brackets, bells, discs etc?
Many thanks for the 4x4 stat and gp A air filter via Ebay, stat was a godsend after lots of headscratching with 'odd overheating' problem i had. Tony at TURBOSYSTEMS recommended yourself.......

 

Reyland will have those parts on the shelf more than likely. I've CP5200s on my car and love them. Go for Ferodo DS 2500 pads too

 

Thanks Paul, will also need new wheels as well as i believe?! On RS7's at the moment.
I do have a small problem with my brakes at present.... on first applying the footbrake the pedal seems to push back up against my foot and resist pressure and then makes a ' clicking noise/feel' and goes back down, any ideas? ABS fault? No lights on dash showing though.

 

relay fucked?

 

Will give it a try and keep you posted, many thanks

 

If the pedal is pushing back then the ABS is active, does it happen when stopping at very slow speed, i.e. when crawling to a junction, or just applying the brakes, period?

Its the ABS kicking in phil, First thing i would check is the ABS rings are clean, and test the wheel sensors are working correctly,

i think the system is assuming one of the wheels has stopped rotating when you start to slow down, hence firing the abs, when the wheel hasn't actually stopped at all.

 

I think it does it when stopping at slow speed, can't remember as i haven't drove the cash drainer for a little while! Pretty sure though!

 

Hi James, thanks for the input, will check everything out next week... cheers bud

 

i have the ford ABS manual for these, feel free to pop in to have a look and read if you like.

 

Thanks James, i feel like i spend more time there than at home! The joys of cosworth ownership i guess.... i will pop in next week, als and launch control next and then a new gearbox!

 

 

Some of these



Luciano

 

Looks well, what size etc? Where from? Many thanks

 

TBH my tuner supplied and fitted them so I have no idea where he got them from

they are 330mm discs and 4 pot calipers I would try someone like Mike Rainbird


Luciano

 

i recommend martin at reyland

he supplyed me with my ap's discs brackets and bells all bolts and washers etc

and he was a good price to

and the bells and brackets came anodised in a colour of my choice and the bells had reyland engraved in them

 

I have a 4x4. And I got 335mm hi spec with 6pot calipers. They all work well and look good doing the rears aswell real soon

 

Give Hi Spec a look. I've got 380mm 6 pots on mine and really fit up the inner 18" Compo's.

 

Is it true 330 ap's won't fit under rs7 spokes? If so what brakes will fit?
