good value for money ? (Brakes)
« on: August 05, 2014, 09:46:46 pm »
I'm getting a stage 1 remap I'm considering getting R32/S3 brakes... Or do I really need a brake upgrade ?

Found a kit that has everything I would need for a straight swap new disk, refurbed calipers etc

For £400 is this good ?

Thanks

I though the were defiantly needed, £400 for refurbed calipers with some decent condition discs and pads is a fair price

If the calipers are refurbished and come with new discs and pads then its a good price. I also run stage 1+ and couldn't recommend bigger brakes more.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Thanks bud, sounds good to me then! Did you get uprated brake lines or are the standard r32 ones enough I don't do track days and that but occasionally give it abit on the road ;D

The set comes with shields also !
