BBK Upgrade n Brands

[mADmAN]

depends on the caliper oso.... like the nissan R32 R33 aluminium calipers are even lighter than my single pot H22A caliper...

hell... even the silvia calipers which are cast iron oso is still lighter than my H22A caliper. hahahah

The calipers are light... But the disc are heavy as hell unless you change to 2piece rotor.... Calipers are made of aluminium...

I think price should be what 4gBanger quote...if Sumitumo brake change 2piece rotor and pads think the price will go up closing in buying a new sets of Taiwan brands BBK...

In my opinion your ride is a "bit off" in a sense that it is MPV. What I meant is that you will need to factor other things as well such as ride height, load etc. What I experienced when I first installed bbk on the front is that it feels like my car have too much stopping power and I can feel that I'm being thrown to the front yet it feels that the rear are still "playing up". I did some research before finally finding the mate at the rear that makes me happy. Not sure if it's just me or there are some actual theories to backed this up but merely sharing what I feel. So if it is actually holds true then you need to get both front and rear researched and done as otherwise you may feel that the car is throwing to the front but yours would have bigger impact since ride height is a lot greater.
In terms of common stuff like pads, if you do get not common brakes then what you can do is always have one spare set at home. That's what I did.
BBK might not always be the case. Some actually changed to a better pads and some changed to better/bigger/featureristic (I made that word up, means the disc have features like slotted etc) disc. These do play pivotal role in your stopping quest. Some instead of getting a BBK which can be costly, you may just get a really good caliper to mate with your existing disc/rotor.
Don't have any clue what rims you are running now but check if the BBK fits in there. Size and offset of rim matters for clearance depending on BBK

Viperxs-Thanks for the details info...I know is an MPV that's y I'm considering to upgrade the BBK or not...what I needed is more stop power n try not to lose the comfort of not being throw out...I have try few of the option said by you...my ride is lowered and currently using endless pads and I have the right off set for my rim which is more then enough to clear the BBK...may I know which BBK u bought?

if u have some cash, go for aftermarket 4 pot. if u have budget concern, go for oem 4 pot. simple..

 

[devilsrules]

4gbanger-Agree with ur comment...thank you for all the comment

The best combination is front 4pot coupled with your rear disc as well.. if the front is too strong you will feel the effect like what has mentioned.. being thrown in front.. if your rear is drum then better change it to disc.. not really necessary to change to 2 pot, but if budget allows then by all means go ahead.. and my brakes mod thread is here.. http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/car-modification/420615-big-brake-kits-for-suzuki-swift-3.html
