[cooberpedy]

I thought that it could be of interest for someone.
Fitted bigger Brembos all round.

The rotors are 365mm X 34mm with Brembo 8pot Calipers.

To be honest, i have no idea, how much they are in comparison. But i like the fact, that they are used by a few OEM's (Audi, Lamborghini), which should give superior reliability.

The pair in the picture are labeled to be used in an Audi RS6, the other pair, i have, is labeled to be used by Lamborghini.
But will change color anyway...

The wheels are one piece OZ Racing ALLEGGERITA, which are very very lightweight.
rear: 13"x18" at 10.5kg and front: 10"x18" at 9.5 kg.

ciao.
I bought a plant used in a vw touareg tdi or cayenne and I was thinking of trying to install them on my gtr.
but it seems very weigh much kg.
i think 6 or 8 pots

hi stefano,
actually, i had an eye on the cayenne ones also , they are 6pot and are all designed for different disc sizes. The biggest one, which have in my "cayenne turbo s" are 382mm and they only fit under 19" rims, at least.


For my understanding, there is nothing to be gained, by just installing a different caliper and sticking to tiny rotors.
Only increasing the disc size to the maximum diameter in conjunction with an appropriate caliper, will result in ultimate stopping performace.

I honestly doubt that there is any sense in increasing the ultima rotors unless you are using slicks on a track......

hi uwe,
probably the truth, perhaps one of the "endurance racing guys" can comment on this.

Are they hub centric pcd adapters I see?

yep!
They change the pcd to a porsche 5 x 130mm, which is more common, at least in my country...
The major advantage is, that this massively increases the choice of wheels, designs and manufacturers , which can be used.

5 kilos per corner is hard to beleive....

can someone put the components of the factory ap setup on a scale?
i can do it with my brembo setup.....just for the record.

Daniel!
Thanks for that.
I'm going to come up with my numbers later this morning...

Q: Are your data for the caliper with or without pads?

cheers
