Chris`I Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Its ancient but good, so will give you that, and hence why I am always asking these lovely members that get BBKs what investigation they have done about the size/no of pots in their kits to keep them balanced Its from when the car was released... I was invited to participate in a full day of track testing with StopTech in December, 2002. This article is my "diary" of that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Yeah I was amazed too, seems the power of them isnt too different. The big difference is how quickly they fade, non brembos don't last as long, but with the right pads and discs they are fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article is my "diary" of that day. sorry chris, i was just doing my reading on front to back brake balance when i came across it, was only the data i was really bothered about was surprised about the 1 foot difference between brembos and standard Saw this too when i was researching before i bought my k-sport However though it was a good test it does not tell the whole story because on track the Brembo is better than the JDM stuff by quite a bit just like a BBK has better resistance to fade than the Brembo thus outperforms it on repeated and aggressive usage. The balance is important and this is why the companies that make both front and rear kits who have research their products have matched packages for each car application and are able to advice what kit is best for your application For example in my case I wanted to have 356mm x 30mm rotors both front and rear and so to keep the balance and OEM bias i had to go 8pot vs 6pot and its spot on.

I can see that you have still not given up on brakes mate I never had any feedback from those guys about the 345mm x 30mm rotors but it comes from the cardillac CTS i believe.
