AP big brakes

[UFO MATT]

has anyone fitted the str8six AP big brake conversation on a Tamora?if yes how much better are they than the standard brakes in the real world?

Not on a tam but have them on the Tuscan and the Sag & yes there is a marked improvment both in initial bite & brake feel also less fade

I'm not sure on the big brake conversion, but I love the look of the rear brake conversion, with the handbrake built in - so there is no nasty second caliper.

Would be tempted to go for this on the Sag.

Why , what have you currently got ?

Just have the standard Tamora brakes at the mo and have never liked the bite or feel of them. There will be some engine power increase at some point so want to get the suspension and brakes sorted before going down that road. Must admit I agree they all look nice front and rear but want nice every day road driving feel from them not ones that do not work untill they are at 600 degrees lol.

That's good to know; I've been tempted by those brakes for awhile. If there's a noticeable improvement in bite and feel then they should be worth it.

WHOOOAAAHHH there Matt !!!!!

What's happened to the Sag ? Still your profile pic... You were selling to get a bigger deposit for a house or something ???

What Tamora have you picked up ???

From memory, when I had RP fit bigger brakes and a new calipher setup, with spacers and grooved discs, there was a difference in the amount of bite the brakes had.

Not sure what the str8six disc sizes are, but I would imagine they are something similar.

However, I never really pushed them so I can't give an accurate comparison to the standard setup, only subjective.

I have an 05 Tamora in Rolex blue that will be its replacement at some point in time. Just trying to get the way it drives sorted at the mo.
