stoptech offers a 355mm and 328mm front and a 328mm rear. you guys are making me want to order the stop techs i have been looking at. I just wis there was a way to make a hydrolic rear emergancy brake for the rear.

 

Thank you.

 

 

is that the gran turismo kit from brembo? no cutting needed of the lip on the heatsheild from what i can see..do you know the specs on that brake setup?

 

NYC can you throw out some details on the caliper repainting...did you completely disassemble the brake caliper for paint or coating?

I brought calipers to a body shop. They sanded it down by hand primed and painted the out side of the caliper. They tapped up the inside. It was a fairly simple job. I was going to have them powder coated, but the shop said they would have had to disassemble the entire caliper.

 

how well have they held up since they painted?

 

I did the same to mine, and once painted I put them in the oven at 150 degrees for about an hour to help adhere the paint to the surface, that was about a year ago and havent had any visible ware or chips.

 

what type of paint did you use? I did mine with the vht stuff but did not bake or anything and it is starting to come off.

 

did you bake the calipers fully assembled?

 

^ Why not they see higher temps during heavy loads

can i ask why on an rx8? just upgrading to high performance brake pad can do almost the same thing? specially with more rubber touching the ground

 

Oh really? Please tell me more RX-8 braking expert.

 

oh really? because i believe i asked questions. yes that is why i ended the sentence with a "?"

your argument is invalid

 

Your grammar is poor so it was hard to tell what was a statement versus what was a question. Plus this thread is for post pics of BBK's, not discussing the pros and cons of a BBK on the RX-8.

 

Oh the troubles of being an old man..

A sentence ending with "?" usually means it is a question. To me, what seemed to be a relatively easy question to answer obviously isn't to some. I was not trying to start an argument nor was I trying to prove a point. I had read in a thread that some argue that more rubber to the ground and a high performance break pad can ALMOST stop the car in the same distance as a BBK. Yes I can use correct grammar AND punctuation. Considering this is the internet and not English 099, IDGAF!

Therefore, once again, your argument is invalid.

 

Oh boy.

 

hez sooooooooooooo mad right meow

 

Happy Noob Year everyone.
