Brake Upgrade in Bora 4 Motion

[tigger19]

Wow your machine must be amazing. From your post of a day or so ago I noticed the guys were pretty impressed with your work to date and are keen on getting more details of your mods. You certainly have taken your Bora to a new level.

thank you... Are you going to the Maroondah Dam cruze on the 7th?

I have to work that weekend but hopefully the guys will put up plenty of pics.
Maybe next time.

I have acquired a set of R32 brakes for my Bora V6 4Motion, just trying to acquire wheels to go over them now.

Unsprung mass can be quite critical, and I have heard that the R32 brakes are a bit heavy. I'm hoping that down the track I'll be able to replace the discs with something a little lighter to reduce weight, I'll have to see how things go.

The recommendation for EBC Redstuffs is interesting, pads is one thing I've never been really up to speed on, I'll have to do some research here.

QS- I spoke to James and he is getting back to me tomorrow with prices. He said yours were actually EBC / TURBO GROOVE DISCS (so not RDA?). Did you do the replace the rears as well or simply OEM with red stuff? Thanks for the heads up!
Cheers,
David

Sorry Tigger, I must have gotten confused. He is right and he would know because he fitted them.

My rears were ok, probably do them at my next service with the grooves and Red-stuff. I will have to take a picture but the difference in brake dust between front and rear is day and night. And my front's always used to be the worst.

You might have been lucky QS - James is now finding them hard to track down. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed. I'll see what happens in the next week or two.

LoL, Tell him to pull his finger out and get you some gear !!!

I thought I had pictures somewhere of my brakes will need to get another shot for you.
