Post Stage 2 Brakes Discussion

--- Quote from: tony_danza on December 28, 2008, 12:06:55 am ---There's also the issue of using a minimum 15mm spacer, the first compression corner and you're shedding the wing. The track is bigger on the front as it is, so that's not making it any better and there's also possible wheel bearing issues in the long term.
If you look at it, they simply haven't been well thought out in terms of anything other than looking the part. They don't function as a viable upgrade.

....We all love to look cool, but why is it that too many folks give priority to the looks over the function. This applies to both brakes and suspension. Surely only a fool will give priority to the looks.

These seem like a good price

tony_danza:
Very good price indeed!.. I bet you'd get a bit more off if you asked too.
GTIjames:
been looking at the alcon's too, only prob they are not red and would like to keep as oem as poss, but 4 pots for that price... am off to regal tomo to get a few bits fitted anyway, so will see if they like to barter :xmaslaugh:
ukdub:
I like the fact that the Alcons are race proven.
