Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Brakes would this set-up work?

i was thinking of going with brembo rotors, kvr pads and a wilwood brakes....would this set-up be wise or is there a better one? thanks.

Well depends on how much money you want to spend, I thing Bear is the best out there

then what is a good set-up? i definately want to reduce brake dust...

If eliminating brake dust is your primary concern, you don't need to make such a serious investment - just go with different pads. I've heard the Mintex A/F pads are pretty low dust and are not too expensive. If you are looking for serious stopping power and less chance of rotor warping, then you may want to consider either Wilwood or Baer. Keep in mind that you will need new wheels with Baer, but can fit the Wilwood into the stock wheels with a small spacer. I'm trying to post those pics, but I think I need them on the web before I can post them here. I have the E0 (Cosworth style) wheels with 5mm spacers and love the setup. My car's stopping performance is a complete level above the stock setup.

i want the total performance, so i want it all upgraded...where do i get the spacers from? i have a hook-up at a local meineke, would they have the spacers? thanks.

I don't think Brembo rotors are easily available (sp?) any more...

you setup sounds good. It will defiently stop better. i would get the brembo rotors gas slotted. but if you want ultimate, get the Baer brakes. The are awesome and they look bad ass.

thanks guys....what about wheel spacers?

The wheel spacers are from H&R Springs. Check out their website and call them up. They will give you the location that can sell them retail to you. Check out http://www.hrsprings.com/. Under products, you will find the wheel spacers and contact information. It's nice to have stock rims with the Wilwood calipers peeking through. I'll post some pics if I can ever get them on the web. If you give me your e-mail, I can send you the pics I have. Do not get wheel spacers from anyone other than H&R. They are made specifically for our car and they will A LOT better than the crap you get from local shops. I went with cross drilled KVR rotors. They look really nice and, of course, no rust! :P

thanks for the info...str8jakit55@aol.com.

The H&R Spacer you need is a 5mm with part# 10346331. They are $68.95 per pair and you can get them from Turner Motorsport in Boston, MA. Their number is (800) 280-6966. Let me know if you have any questions and I'm sending you the pics now.

really nice set-up NYK...by the way what kind of pads and rotors are you using?

I'm using KVR cross-drilled rotors. They are really nice looking and I got them cadmium plated. The pads are Mintex C-Tech pads in the rear and Wilwood pads that come with the brake kit in the front. One word of warning!!! If you are concerned about your car squealing at times, this is not the system for you. I have found that under light braking conditions, the pads glaze up and squeal. If you are more lead footed, you won't hear them, but consider this before spending bookoo bucks on a high performance brake system. It does stop a lot quicker once the pads are heated up though

cool thanks - good info to know....
