now brake system time
i'm working a lot with brakes last few years, so went further.
for about a year i'm using brembo calipers with lug mounts - they are cheaper, but you can't use them on other cars (only little count configs where can). so, i'm correcting this lack and modify their mounts to radial type.
it's not something new - people make this on different models, but i prefer to use most similar model to brembo gt caliper.
this caliper almost the same as brembo gt, only bridge differs.
all this modifications are cnc machined.
caliper weight after mod - less then 3.3kg (7.25lbs)
caliper before mod
and after, when all work done (this yellow pair i've prepared for 1m)
and, this red pair i've prepared for our 135
on e8x and e9x i usually prefer to use this caliper with 1m/m3 360mm rotor (two piece floating). it works excellent on any r18 wheels.
