new 8-piston brake caliper on RT10

[Rainer]

Last week I installed my new 8-piston brake calipers on my 2002 RT10.
It comes with 356mm 2-piece floating discs (slottet)
Now the car stops like a sportscar SHOULD stop!!

Two days ago I went to a racetrack in france -> test existed!
They worked well even after the 7. or 8. turn.
With stock brakes after 3 or 4 hard turns the brakes was "over"....

Are you running these on the front And rear?
If no, what is your rear setup?

Do you have a proportioning valve?

As most of the stopping power is needed at the front, I use the stock caliper on the rear brake, but upgraded it with EBC discs and EBC yellowstuff pads.
My car is a 2002 so it is equiped with ABS and need no proportioning valve.

I got this brake system from k-sports germany.
http://racing-shop-germany.com/index.php?a=48192

It costs 2.000,- Euro ex Tax with 2-piece Rotors (fixed).
Ad 200,- Euro for the option "floating disc"
I ordered it without the company branding on the caliper.
A friend of me engraved the Viper Logo by Laser.

K-Sports offer also calipers for the rear (4 or 6 piston)
For 19" or 20" rims they offer discs with 380mm (which is 15")

The front break system is a real bolt on kit.
I needed about 2 hour for the complete installation including bleeding the system.
For bleeding i use the Stahlbus bleeding valves which allow a real simple one-person bleeding.

Very impressive!

i wonder what it has done to the up-sprung weight and petal throw filling the extra pistons? do you know the weight difference? also I like the quick bleeders, i have never seen those before

 

[whitebluevipe]

brakes look great. p.s. are you the guy from germany that makes watch boxes?

 

[Grisoman]

Excellent photos, thanks so much. What pad fitments are available? That 19% V.A.T. sure bumps the cost.

 

[Mopar Boy]

Beyond wow. Well done.

No i am not - I am from Austria!

[FONT=&quot]K-sports offers 3 typs of pads. (normal, sport and race)
But you could also order this brakesystem with Ferodo, Pagid, Carbonetic, EBC, Performance Friction etc.
If you order it from the US you will not have to pay 19% german V.A.T.
