OMG - you are certainly splashing the cash! - nice one mate.

Initial impressions? - difficult I know as they haven't even bedded in yet - but any improvement over ther AP set up?

alski · Dec 15th, 2006, 12:32 PM

you knew you wanted these anyway

not my money to spend but are porshe ceramic discs available too?
or is it a case of the rubber failing 1st if you have too much stopping power? can you have too much?

GTT 280 · Dec 15th, 2006, 03:51 PM

Superb.

Cheers,

Just by chance - are these fitted on an R56?

The porsche ceramic brakes are yellow I believe, well they are on the new Turbo. But they squeek like f**k!!! Well I think all ceramic brakes do to a certain extent at low speeds.
NICE MOD THOUGH

I have Ceramic Pads, they are red.

On the Turbo if you go with Ceramic Composite brake kit then the actual rotor is carbon/ceramic, the Yellow calipers are alloy and the pads i suppose are ceramic.

It also costs around £7000 as opposed to £2000

Well, you know, it actually suits the power mods perfectly. 265bhp+ on 304 AP kit was never a good idea really

Now these brakes make you drive fast.

Ouch !

ichy600 · Dec 18th, 2006, 11:31 AM

can you tell me if there are many modifications to do to fit that brake kit?
