Stock brakes:
HPA Big Brake Kit:
I have not done a big stop yet because:
-It was rush hour
-It's raining in Sydney
-The old calipers and rotors were in the boot
(Imagine them flying through the cabin and cracking my skull open)
Going back to my original reasons for getting a BBK
- I did not like the over powered feeling at slow speed versus having to hammer the peddle at high speed
That's gone for sure, I have a lovely granular and progressive brake feel now, feels like it has authority at all pressure levels
Only very light pressure needed at slow speed, much like stock, just feels better and more progressive
Appears the master cylinder is easily up to operating these 6 pot calipers- Being StageII things happen faster, wanted braking upgraded
- Track days, hate production brakes fading after 3~4 laps
For now I have to use the brakes normally for 5 days and let the rotors stress relieve themselves
Then there is a braking procedure to be executed for the benefit of both the rotors and the pads
After that I should see the true potential of these brakes
So street creed test - do you think they look:
- Stupid
- Just Ok
- Wicked
- Awesome
- Over done
They look fantastic!!!
