VTTR Brake Kit On EVO

[lanevo6]

Just to share a bit, a lot of people get the wrong idea of Brembo. From my experience Brembo is good except for the rotor provided for OEM evos!! Its not the caliper that has a problem. AMG,Ferraris,Porch all using brembo.
When i change from OEM rotor to BIOT slotted rotor (front and rear) with a good combi of brake pad projet mu and app braided hose, it was totally a different felling and respond.
Now i m on Endless of coz its feels lots more different coz i m on 4 pot rear.

Another important thing for most people to know is, BBK makers like Endless,AP,Alcon and Stoptech they calculate the ABS function that we have in our car. To know more about it go find out yourself. I believe those Taiwan and other so called 6pot or 8pot if you use also no point coz you wont get the correct pressure of breaking.
I have friends whose using AP racing with 355mm rotor had their ABS taken out then you really feel the bite. Coz with ABS you should you correct wieght and size of rotors.

Totally agree with cannon,
CYBEREVO uses ori brembo.....

Very informative! Thanks for sharing... I have the right idea for my brake setup now. But what if those popular BBK, like AP.... you'll be surprise if they oem from Taiwan and re-brand them as "AP". Don't flame me... I'm just asking. :hmmmm:

so far i know grippen turn into greddy only. other caliper design not the same. now lots of branded stuff they dont use sticker anymore, the brand from the caliper itself.

can i know wat is the different between oem brembo and aftermarket brembo? i thought is all the same.

wat i know normally for breaking system ppl will go for endless, ap, alcon, brembo, ox and project u.

i never heard any hardcore using taiwan made stuff.

even cyberevo track car using standard brembo.

Ya ya ..... Cannon shud know lor .... coz he's Cyberevo ma ...

hi all,

Thanks for all the feedback regarding the brake kit. Anyway, I've bought the endless brake kit. Will try on track and see how it performs. :)

Woah bro! If that's the photo of your exh. manifold, then u made the rigt choice in the Endless .... then again, with that kind of exh. mainfold, maybe u wud have been better off with the Brembos 8/6 calipers .....

If not mistaken, those BBK like alcon, brembo, grex (greddy), M7, all branded names must have 18" to clear the BBK calipers.

For VTTR, XYZ, you can have the 6pt BBK and 17" still can clear these calipers. The pistons are smaller.

I feel that the OEM rotors for evo is pretty weak as it overheat easily thus those who upgrade their brake pads to higher temp will find their rotors unable to cope after a few hard braking. For those who want an affordable route to better brake bites, best to go for steel braided, better brand of rotors + pads (eg: prj mu set) and DIY cooling ducts.
