Finding Satria Neo

[acwa238]

Alex: About the caliper... what i know is the car accessories shops sell the covers only... and normally they come with different types of colors and brand names written on it. From far you cant really tell if it's plastic or metal coz the paint is shiny (which looks good).

For a tight budget, that is good looking enough, but ppl would normally knows if it's fake coz of the original disc size...

I did research on original brembo disc brakes from u.s. and it cost a bomb... I'm still looking for alternatives, changing all four disc brakes to bigger ones... but must be reliable, performance-wise and affordable...

Otherwise, just go for the plastic covers coz you can't really tell, can you?

 

[alexklg]

yeah... from far it really looks good. even up close also not bad... but i heard need to drill holes right? dun want to spoil my ori brakes leh...

i heard that the ori brembo brakes are extremely expensive... but duno whether we are able to get just the metal covers. not in a hurry, will slowly look for it... maybe chop shops might have... will look around...

after u modified ur satria neo show me ur picture YOYO!

 

[kwai]

dun use those brake caliper cover, its will block the heat releasing frm ur brake and cause ur brake fade....

you can say u r not racer and u dun trash ur car, but if the brake fade things happen when u coming down frm genting.... its too late to regret cause you gonna busy saving ur car and ur life.. its not worth to have a nice look but risking ur life...
for me the cover is like a boom, it will explo when u unaware.... think twice, dun do unnecessary things... :D

 

[alexklg]

kwai bro, issit? i know that it will block the heat from escaping the brake calipers... but i tot the effect is minimal. All along i tot the heat will escape more from the discs rather than the calipers... Thanx for the info, kwai bro... i think i'll invest in a REAL brembo instead. hehehe...

 

[ivan_cyc]

how does a real Brembo cost?

 

[alexklg]

real one... expensive loh... heard it is around 5k for 1 pair.. not sure how true is that but i need to go find out for more info...
