Brake Upgrades -rotors, lines, deflectors/ducts

If we upgrade the rotors wouldnt that throw out the brake F:R balance.? Is there any way we can compensate for this.

Pm me about the balance too Sandeep. I have the larger front rotors already and haven't noticed any changed bias, but would like to know something with some research behind.

 

lol um I pm'd rob to place my order.. not really too sure about the brake balance.

 

doh

 

here's a really good read up on Brake Bias by StopTech: Brake Bias Article

Basically, yes you are altering the brake bias of the car. You're making it more front biased than it was previously as you are increasing the size of the front rotors and not your rears. You could upgrade rear rotors to compensate for the larger braking torque or put a better set of pads on the back compared to the front which would increse your braking force on the back abit. But for a street car, not really sure that brake bias is much of an issue. As long as it stops in a shorter difference then that's the main thing.

 

Are the Big brake adapters ADR compliant? If not you may have issues with insurance!

 

I think you'll find the adapters are VERY illegal.

 

Haha ok I'll pass....have to wait until i can afford Brembo's

 

Well, the brembos will also use a caliper adapter. Also illegal. Any mod to the brakes like this needs to be engineered to be road legal.

 

Not if you use R33 GTR brembo's and GTR rotors.

 

Brembos bolt up directly to the stock mounts. You should probably still get a mod plate for them though. No one would know that there not stock.

 

They fit on the stock mount points with larger rotors? I haven't actually looked at them to be honest, but they must be very high to fit over the 324mm rotors?

 

Yes.

Not really, only 22mm higher...

 

You forgot me PM sent

put it this way, if you look at the size of the caz 324 mm adaptor its really pretty small..

you can c the gtr brembo has longer mounting section vs the stock..... thats why u can use such a small adaptor and get gtr size rotors 2 fit.. or you can step up and get REAL MANS GTR CALIPERS and have perfect brake pad wear

STOCK... Note the length of mounting points



GTR33 Brembo...Note the length of mounting points ... They are longer

 

any pics of the air deflectors on the zed.. will these fit with the 324 mm rotors.. i cant c how they would make any difference..

 

Brembo set...

Have you guys considered the Brembo kit?

This is the road I was looking at going down...

Brembo from TTZ
