Title: My New Brakes
Post by: robokn on June 01, 2010, 09:12:25 am
Well after suffering quite a few months of juddering every time I pressed the brake I decided to bin the Alcons and fit these mothers

Needed a little work to fit but nothing Darren and the boys and G-Werkes couldn't handle so here they

RS6 V10 390mm six pots

what are consumables costs then.  cant imagine discs that size being cheap.  Also how heavy are they etc
Title: Re: My New Brakes
Post by: robokn on June 01, 2010, 12:48:20 pm
Work Required
 
A small amount of machining of the caliper to get it to fit 5mm no structural integrity affected

A 2mm spacer behind disc to center it on the pads

So not a lot of work they are Sportec rims not sure on the off set but you will need 19"s minimum

The whole kit is 2k and as for the consumables cheaper than Alcon

if you go for the RS6 b7 discs with RS4 calipers you dont need to do any machining and they JUST fit under team dynamic 1.2s (18")

as per this setup... costly but :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
