Are the Porsche ones 6 pot ?:thumbs:

[s.mac]

AP from Questmead, they are always good for a deal. You will have full access to spares and servicing.

[Rutkowski]

Do it properly and buy Brembo GT 6 / 4 pot set up.

[shimmy]

It all goes back to balance. Not just about getting callipers and fitting them.

Are you sure this set up will stop the car effectively and under control?

Better spend £1500 properly than £1000 wasted

Ahmmm ! ;)

In the past 10 000 miles, my Pikey Porsche BREMBO conversion :thumbs: has proven to be quite effective :whistle: and consistently under control :smokin:

Maybe but apart from the ring how many hard braking circuits have you done?

[mattCSLnut]

Brands Hatch X3... Bedford X2... Snetterton (old circuit) X1 and Spa X1 (technically a half day) :smokin:
... ohh and not forgetting the F1 GP circuit @ Nurburgring X2 (not to be confused with the Nordschleife you're referring to) :thumbs:

Did you go fast enough to use the brakes :bigcry:

I won't even grace an answer to that "back paddle" Shimmy ;) :hahaha:

you can never have good enough brakes :)

on my alcon setup with XP12 front and XP10 rear I still wish for more. Spoilt with the ceramic jobbies on the porker.

Buy the best you can :)

[karbonkid]

very well said. i was woundering tho, has anybody just fitted a bbk on the front and noticed it unsettles the car at all? i was thinking today that they might need upgrading in pairs?


Definitely agree with doing in pairs too. I find doing one caliper makes the car pull to one side. :smokin:

Having been there and got the t-shirt, I can honestly say that if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing properly. The Brembo calipers on a Carrera are designed for a different car. Different weight distribution, different disks, different brake balance requirements, different rear calipers etc etc.

Years ago I put 840ci Brembo calipers on the front of an e36 M3 Evo. A friend did the same, fitting Skyline GTR Brembo calipers on the front of his 200sx.

They looked great...

But it didn't stop both cars getting through rear brake pads about twice as fast as fronts...

;)

[alexk]

I think a proper BBK is the way to go.

At the end of the day it is an M3 CSL and it deserves proper brakes, designed for it.

Totally agree :thumbs:

It's one good reason for doing it properly :thumbs: fronts and rears :smokin:

FYI , my BREMBOs are off a Cayman S that comes in @ an Unladen EU weight of 1425 kg with Manual gear box or 1465 kg with the Tiptronic gear box, near identical to the M3 CSL @ 1460 kg, both with balanced chassis :whistle: unlike the above example of what NOT to do ;) i.e. a 2000 kg 840 Ci V 1200 kg E36 M3 :clown: with completely different chassis characteristics :banghead:

Still have my reservations... but hey, if it works for you, then I say rock on...

P.S. Where was your advice when I fitted the Brembos?

Going backwards through a hedge every time I went for the anchors wasn't exactly good for the paintwork... (but the calipers looked great).

:-D

I've been rocking my BREMBOs now for 10,000 miles :thumbs: on all sorts of tarmac :smokin:
