Hi guys,
Thanks have to go to everybody for the advice about BIG brakes.
This is what I have ordered, 6 pots in Gold with 325mm discs with Gold bells, EBC Greenstuff pads, braided brakes lines and all fixing bolts.........

£1144.00.........I thought this was a good price

What do you guys think?????

Steve

 

I think most peoples choice are ap brakes but they do look bling mate and im sure they stop well

 

looks good 2 me steve

 

not bad

 

I have hi spec 4 pot on my frst and they'll put it on its nose if i slam on!


top purchase

 

Whopper brakes....

Do yourself a favour though and put those pads on ebay and sell them and buy redstuff pads, greenstuff are uber pish.

 

F.A.O Ryan............

Tell me more about the Geenstuff pads???????

Steve

 

very bling m8

 

Very good mate I have heard bad reports about ebc greenstuff pads and warping the big discs by a few on here just not sure who sorry

 

It was me probably

Greenstuff are utter, utter shite!

Throw them at someone you don't like and buy some Ferodo DS2500's

Neil.

 

 

whats the deliery time on them brakes then steve?

 

Ive been told 28days...............
Aint gonna take money until the kit is dispatched

Steve

 

i hate greenstuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will never ever use them again

 

Hello again,
I explained to the guy on the phone, I dont do track days, I need the brakes to work 100 yds down the road (NO warm up) and
I wanted dust seals.
He recommended the Greenstuff pads, I do have a choice, so tell me WHY I should get the Redstuff pads????????

Steve

 

Are you sure 16's will go over those calipers?

 

to be fair i didnt have any brakin probs with green stuff but it might explain warping 3 pairs of disks

 

Yeah, thats the problem with them - it's not that they don't work, they destroy discs. They're shite!

Steve - DS2500's work fine from cold too

Neil.

 

Hello Spadge,
Yes mate, had the wheel off and have lots of room according to High-spec.
He said at first 315mm discs, until I told him the inner dimensions of the BBS, he then said 325mm will fit with the caliper.

Steve

 

I would be very surprised if they do mate!
My 16" BBS's only just and i mean only just fit over my 330's using standard so smaller 2wd calipers! The back of the spokes only clear the front of the calipers by using a 3mm spacer.
These guys should know their stuff but i really can't see them fitting to be honest

 

OK OK guys................
Ive just changed the order to DS2500, is everybody happy NOW.......LOL
more bloody money

Steve

 

The 2wd calipers are quite chunky though compared to aftermarket alloy ones so apparently its just the height of the caliper you need to worry about spadge. Also a few of the kits bring the caliper further away from the spokes (not sure if your kit does this as well?)

 

I know what your saying mate, but he asked me for the measurements.....

Inner wheel 380mm
Disc face to back of wheel 63mm

Then he told me what will fit, gotta go with his advice aint I ?????

Steve

 

Never tried greenstuff but Im on my 2nd set of redstuff pads and my Hi-Spec mod'd TT discs on my S3 (what a mouthful) work fine!

 

Guess you have a point mate! Hadn't thought about aftermarket calipers being slimmer but bigger elsewhere to be honest

 

I'm happy now



Neil.

 

BTW i had green stuff pads on my hispec 330 4pots on the datsun and they were lethal from cold

glad you changed them

 

Thanks Neil,
Can you post a cheque for the difference..............LOL

Steve

 

Cheers Andy..............
Are you still after some brakes?????

Steve

 

I tried my wheels over an ap 330 kit and they were having none of it so i am going to wait and check the calipers are not the same as the godspeed AP (5200's) and if not probably order that kit.

Or I may have a play with some evo 8 calipers and see what i can do.

I knew i should have just got MO's like all the sheep

 

count yourself lucky, my callipers only just clear my BBS wheels and there 18's



who said aftermarket callipers were slimmer

 

yeah but your special and went and bought special wheels and special brakes to go with your special wheels

guess you just have to give me your wheels and get some 22" spinners to fit your brakes

 

greenstuff pads cost me 3 sets of disks, including a set of brembos

 

over £200 more than a godspeed kit.

Hi spec reputation with customer service is not good

 

cancel the order asap they are w4nkers buy propper brakes

 

why not 8 pots?

 

fooking hell,hi spec brakes and greenstuff pads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do you not want to stop or something?
cancel the order,buy ap's and stop thinking anything else is any good for fook sake.

 

my hi-spec rear 330mm rotors and bells took 4 months
