Help regarding Gen2 Brakes Upgrade

[dmaul]

Hi to all the sifus around,

Just seeking for opinion and looking around, just wondering if there's any Gen2 around that has successfully upgraded to a set of Brembo brakes, and if yes, what are the modifications that have to be done and which Brembo (from which car) do u guys use??

Or alternatively, what other good brakes that have been upgraded into a Gen2? For those twinpots from Evo3/4, any modifications that have to be done? Or just plug and play?

Thanks for your feedbacks in advance! XD

Any PnP brakes upgrade out there for Gen2?? Anyone modded??

 

[DanzEterna]

get the braking system from evo4.

what engine are u using now? fyi, the brake system u have now is sufficient for the car, the trick is choosing the right pads.. i trust bendix for the job

Hmm, going to up the power soon, so thinking of getting something better, thanks!! =D

what mods are gonna get? fyi, iam still with the std caliper n uprated pads, pushing 186hp. my fren, evo3 pushing 360hp on dyno dynamics, again still wit std caliper but wit uprated pads. dat evo accelerates from stand still to a hundred in under 5secs, and still be able to stop in time.

so, how much power are u aiming at anyway? brembos are overrated if u r only looking at a mere 200hp

i think evo brembo or evo 4 twin pot canot pnp. must change knuckle as well. correct me if i m wrong

Wonderful.. APracing from neo... wait ppl go crash their new car send to chop shop 1st!!! LOL

for the green stuff, u have to contact their dealers sir, ive never bought them for several reasons, 1. they are indeed expensive 2. i can get sumthing as good if not better for lower price 3. easier to get other pads.

AP Racing from the neo? good luck, hehe

If wanna upgrade brake, u can try choose from cheap 4pot brake like from skyline R32, it is not bad for the start, since it is only around RM500, but custom make a bracket cost u near to the brake itself. My own experience from single pot to 4pots different is... single pot tend to jam brake more easily, 4pots lesser chance to jam brake except u press it real hard, mayb deal to 4pot brakepad touch the rotor more even... If u wanna upgrade rear to 2/4pots too, then it really cost u a bomb ^_^

of course is 4x114.3
have ppl intro to me fix nissan 4 pot. the center bore of disc need enlarge 5mm den need drill another 3 hole.
but due to need custom bracet to hold caliper, i was reject this purpose. brake is serious part, if sudden bracet failure due to high temp or stress.....i cant imagine.
in skudai, jb.ppl quote me rm700 after trade in GSR brake 2years ago include fix.
