Parts for brembo conversion

[RSmark]

right thought i'd make a thread so i dont shoot myself in the foot come Friday 11th june!

i'm getting my brembo set up fitted an have evrything i can think off needed.

Calipers
Pads
Bolts
Hel Hoses(altough not required, by may aswell)
Discs
Brake Fluid
All springs and brackets for Calipers etc.
Alloys and Tires( a Must for evo IVs)

Anything ive missed?

I understand the brembos need to be bled from both nipples and i will lose the rear disc splash shield.

Hope i have everything. Thanks for any replies.

Deja vu!!!

I thought you had already fitted the callipers a while back buddy???

What discs do you have???

El

 

[RSmark]

no didnt fit them, as i didnt want to rush into an expensive upgrade. I wanted to do it right first time round.

The discs are 40 grooves 20 a side per disc.
Quality is very good. Shocked how big they actually are.

I assume i do have everything, El?

 

[ElDopesta]

You did not mention "lady luck" buddy!!!!

You got it all apart from that.

Let me know how you get on kiddo.

El

 

[RSmark]

Will do. pics will hopfully follow aswell.
glad i got everything then.
Just counted everything price wise and its set me back well over £1,000.
Once its done its done, power mods will follow next.

 

[ElDopesta]

Not a bad price considering what you got for the money!!!

How much did the dics cost you???

El

 

[RSmark]

£200. not bad i thought so got them brought.

 

[ElDopesta]

EBAY! EBAY!

i love it!

 

[RSmark]

Gotta be done, was the best ones i found on ebay, and most expensive too. First choice was from camskill website, but they never have the discs in stock.

 

[ElDopesta]

A good find but I have some Brembo drilled discs for sale and they go for around £150 delivered. Never mind anyway buddy.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda is not the sentence of the day anyway!!!

El

 

[RSmark]

searched EBC discs and they were alot. Thought sod that, and they aint even drilled, just dimples.

been giving the Evo a long wash, clay, wax and polish today.
Only half way through, next is polish exhuast and waxoyl one side of the cars arches. Then scrub headlining, Police should make smoking in cars illegal!

Id avoid drilled disks if you can, they always crack around the holes

 

[ElDopesta]

Only the cheap ones are prone to cracking.

El

 

[rallyslag]

actually they all are, the holes cause massive thermal stress points,

cheap ones just fail much earlier

Grooved arnt so bad but a little noisy

 

[RSmark]

Well weather permitting, they are getting fitted tomorrow!

 

[ElDopesta]

How did you get on Mark????

El

 

[Nick]

Yeah, Dont keep us in suspense!

Sadly the person had an emergency call out, so he'll ring me monday night to rearange another day to do them. on the other hand its not an all loss as the Calipers came off an Evo VII with 60,000 miles on them, so i can get my ass into gear and paint them and get some new Decals for them.
