Brake Calipers
 
Bros/Sis out there,

I'm thinking of changing my 4 brake calipers to after market like Brembo or Endless, any good recommendation and what is the cost likely to be? Mine is a MM spec. :)

Possible to list few cheap locations for after market brake calipers installations? Exclude Garage R (well known for EXP)

Take note that if you're on stock rims, you're gonna have to change them to aftermarket rims that can accommodate the bigger brakes. BTW, our stock brake calipers are excellent and can even handle light track use.

It's true..... You have to change your rim before you upgrade the brakes

Front brake calipers with rotors can simply cost SGD5k...... So far haven't found brake calipers for rear.....

Dont think you would need to change the calipers unless you have a major power increase in your engine or regularly are on the track...

Change of pads should be sufficient

I'm using a pair of endless Vito Nuovas in front... Cost is around SG$200 here in brunei... so shud be cheaper there

Slightly better braking, slightly better feel, slightly louder noise.... Nothing major... Oh and it got rid of the squeal..

Maybe can consider the rx7 fd3s brake caliper...much cheaper than those
branded stuff in the market...plus its a 4 pot... :)

Just changed my brake pads to the Endless C-CA and also the Endless braided steel line with the brake fluid in the package..... surprisingly it is as quiet as stock pads and the bite is at least 40% firmer..... will let it run in the pad a little longer to find out the exact quality of the pad......

initial feeling ....... very happy with the product....

CoupeM 08-08-2006 11:30 AM

How much you paid for it?

4-TOOTH 08-08-2006 02:06 PM

the Pad itself is in the range of 300 and the brake line kit plus the brake fluid in the around 500
