BIG brakes

[wazza]

Jeff, I need something that works properly on road/track. Does not warp, does not fade. (I'm talking up to 20-30mins per session on track)
It should be able to fit standard 17" wheels.
The upkeep cost shouldn't be prohibitive (£100-150 per disc, under £100 per pair of pads)
Pads changed every 10k miles, discs every 20k (based on 4 trackdays every 20k)
Lastly, you do not need to do a bank job to purchase/have them installed to your car.

Can you help? [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I've done a number of track days with my brakes and they have never faded....I've melted the air valve dust cap but no brake fade

It should be able to fit standard 17" wheels.

355 x 32 rotors fit 17" wheels (see my gallery)

The upkeep cost shouldn't be prohibitive (£100-150 per disc, under £100 per pair of pads)

Disc are £250 - 300 a pair and pads range from £50 to 150 depending on brand

Pads changed every 10k miles, discs every 20k (based on 4 trackdays every 20k)

That's about right give or take a few thousand miles

Lastly, you do not need to do a bank job to purchase/have them installed to your car.

You can make that judgment when I have a price for you....

Can you help?

Maybe.... [img]images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Jeff, you're an angel. [img]images/graemlins/sloppy.gif[/img]

I'll need 3-4 people to get HiSpec interested in a discount ....They do kits for RS4 & S3 as well as S4

[Carps]

I may be interested in a set of 355mm 6 pots, assuming they fit inside 18" rims

[Mik]

I am interested.

i'm interested in a set of monster 4 race callipers with cross drilled 355 x 30 discs to fit my standard S4 wheels, but need to know the price before i sign on any dotted line.. is that ok? plus it would have to be earliest 10th feb unless you can hold them for me..

[jeffw]

I'll try and talk to HiSpec today and see what their prepared to do for you guys.

Carps the 355 will fit under a 17" so you'll be able to have the next size up if you want.

SFourMan....don't worry about commitment yet [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[jeffw]

The main man at HiSpec (Geoff) is not available today....back tomorrow.

Jeff, get a price together for the S3 and i'll post up on Tyresmoke.

Before I get pulled completely into this....I already have uprated brakes from HiSpec and therefore I'm not doing this for my benefit (nor will I get anything out of it). I'll try a get a price for an S4 set-up and the quantity required for a discount. If anyone else wants to do a 'group buy' for an upgraded S3 set-up and place it on Tyresmoke that would be great...but I don't have the time to organise it.

Sorry

monster 4 race callipers with cross drilled 355 x 30 discs

Actually you don't....what you want is the 6-Pot Monster Road Caliper and grooved 355 x 32 discs with Ferodo 4003 fast road pad. The Race calipers don't have dust shields and you'd need to clean the calipers every 500-1000 miles...

X-Drilled looks nice on Porsches but grooves work on heavy cars.....

[wazza]

Jeff, I don't mind running the GB itself, for as many users that want it. More the merrier [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
As you know Geoff though can you make the first contact please? Many thanks [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Steady on Jeff, Porsche discs are not cross drilled, they have cast in holes. There is a BIG difference.

Your comment on grooves vs holes is subjective too [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

What's the story with the 6 pot Porsche units on ECS's website? They're up for less money than the 4's at $1495

Sorry Ben, missed this question.

The discs used in the ECS Stage 4 kit are their own, not a Porsche Cayenne OEM part. So I would steer clear of that kit.
