Big Brembos installed

Without pads. If you want I'll weigh a set later when I go to the workshop

weighing done!

Rotor 365mm x 34mm at 10.0kg
Brembo 8pot caliper at 4.1kg

I would like to add it is very easy to block the wheels with the standard rotors, I would say they are really dimensioned big enough !

Alright, we get the picture.

Are they the stock disks? Surely you could save some weight by using a disk with an ally bell.

holy thread revival!
I haven't seen this, but I have the b7 RS4 brake set up up front on my B5 S4, which is the same caliper disc.... impressive brakes but it sometime takes effort to get heat into the brakes and thats on a 1750kg car.... I can only imagine the punishment required to get 4 sets of them up to heat! Also the 8 pots take quite a lot of fluid to move them, so the pedal will probably less stiff and the non heated machanical leverage is great, so with cold pads i reckon these must feel pretty good!


would be interesting to hear from the OP on how theses feel if its been on the road.
