Brake upgrade gen IV

[Tom Mc]

Is there a really good brake upgrade for the gen IV cars ?

Lighter , better stopping...

Factory is good but what is better ???

heheheheheh...... All it takes is money!

Decent girls aren't cheap and cheap girls aren't decent , it all takes money.

ACR rotors will save weight and increase cooling capacity, you could also do the 15" Brembo rotors and 6 piston conversion. Also a change to the Carbotech pads would be a great simple change you will really notice.

A kid in my wifes college class has a business idea to have a anchor on your car........... may want to wait around for that to catch on??????

 

[Tom Mc]

Are these suitable for street use with no squealing ?
If so I'm interested..

Not sure? Maybe a loud scraping noice instead.......

Plus the sparks are eye-catching !

A nice ACR setup would be a start....

Second is to look up Brembo and Stoptech.

Pad choice and driving style = squeel level.

Stage 1: ACR Rotors + SS lines, better pads / fluid {best street-perf value, quiet.}

Stage 2: ACR-x front Brembo rotors / pads..... {more endurance}

Stage 3: Brembo 6-piston fronts, 15" rotor, requires a 19" wheel; StopTech option too.

Stage 4: 6+4 monoblocs 15" fronts from Brembo,,,they even make an 8-piston!

Thanks Jon
Just got these from you a couple days ago. These new rotors along with the existing SS lines, Motul 600, and the ACR-X duct system, should do the trick.
I'll know for sure in a couple weeks at Road Atlanta...

Tom, Mark and JonB gave great advise and options. Stock Gen III/IV brakes are really good. If you're concerned about squeel then I'm guessing this is for street only? If so, upgrade the rotors to the stop tech (gives weight and steering advantages too) and ask Jon for a pad recommendation.

Mike, let us all know your impressions after you get them on the track. I've seen the front X rotors at the track but never heard anyone say how much better they are then the ACR stoptechs. Have fun and be safe. Mike

Will do......

On my SRT 2006 for trackdays :

ACR rotors front and rear
SS lines
Mintex pad for the front and I don't change pad for rear.

It's fantastic for french trackdays (with PS Cup and KW 2) for Le Mans, Magny Cours, Paul Ricard... (this year).
