It is time for a brake overhaul!
I have found a really good deal (I feel) on an upgrade.
I just need to decide how big to go, and I would like some help picking.
The upgrade will include front and rear.
Currently -
The Front brakes are 280mm x 22mm (11.0" x .87") Vented Rotor w/1 piston calipers
The Rear brakes are 232mm x 9mm (9.1" x .35") Solid Rotor
The options -
1.8t/vr6 -
The Front brakes are 288mm x 25mm (11.3" x .98") Vented Rotor w/1 piston calipers
The Rear brakes are 232mm x 9mm (9.1" x .35") Solid Rotor
3/2/g -
The Front brakes are 312mm x 25mm (12.3" x .98") Vented Rotors w/1 piston calipers
The Rear brakes are 256mm x 22mm (10.1" x .87") Vented Rotors
r32 -
The Front brakes are 334mm x 32mm (13.15" x 1.26") Vented 2-piece Rotors w/2 piston Blue calipers
The Rear brakes are 256mm x 22mm (10.1" x .87") Vented Rotors
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I know that I will need larger wheels, etc. But I am willing to deal with that for shorter stopping distance.
What I am really trying to get is talked out of the r32 brakes, as they are the most$$$ haha
To everyone who has upgraded your brakes, all info is appreciated!
