Bbc84 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 someone with a white 4th gen wagon in Hong Kong has Yellow porsche brakes . I remember drooling over them when I saw the pics. EDIT: heres the pic from the SWP Thread: mrroboto is the owner of this car.

Bolksey85 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 this is i nice idea, but when stoptech sells 6-pot trophy brakes with 355mm roters that will fit our cars(18" rims needed), id rather go with the stoptechs. http://www.beastpower.com/products/stoptech/new/stoptech-trophy-st60.jpg :drool: This. Or someone else on here had spent an obnoxious amount of money and put Alcons on. Between these two, I would say one or the other should suffice for what you need and then some. If not, you need a better car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZP Installs Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 More pots ≠ better braking. I am a little late to the party, but yup exactly! M3 has 1 pot brakes IIRC... -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpghttp://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/141039922.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg We carry almost every manufacturer now, so before you buy parts call us.

BAC5.2 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 So does the Elise.

Mann Engineering Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 So does the Elise. Nope, Fronts are AP Racing 2-Piston and rears are Brembo single piston. Yes, the Porsche Brembos that is shown in red do fit on a Legacy. The kit includes a new bracket, rotor, hub, and pads. We have installed a kit for a customer here locally. We are very big on AP Racing brakes, but he wanted something different and unique and so he went with the Red Porsche brakes right away upon seeing them. The red calipers come from a 911(996) GT3 Cup Car. Gary Mann Engineering www.mann-engineering.com www.type-25.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chutrain Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Several of the E30 guys run the Big Reds (996 Turbos) with adapters and hats. Can be done, just need the money. I personally am eyeing the 6 pots off the 135i for my E30. True overkill, but for a set of the fronts with lines, pads, and pad wear sensor for $1050 shipped, that's hell of a deal.

matt Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I personally am eyeing the 6 pots off the 135i for my E30. True overkill, but for a set of the fronts with lines, pads, and pad wear sensor for $1050 shipped, that's hell of a deal. FYI the 135i six pot Brembos use skinny rotors, 26mm depth if I recall correctly. So they don't have as much thermal mass or maybe cooling capacity as you'd think. (Not sure if the skinnyness comes from less metal, from thinner venting section, or both.) Also their design requires removing the calipers to swap pads. Not a huge deal but less convenient than many other calipers. For reference the STI's Brembos use 30mm rotors and the Evo's use 32mm rotors. Neither requires removing the caliper to swap pads.

Gary Mann Engineering www.mann-engineering.com www.type-25.us That's right, I thought those were only a part of the Sport Pack, but it looks like they are standard. The red brakes shown are GT3 brakes (not just from the Cup Car, but any given 996 GT3 I believe). The calipers the OP is actually talking about, however, are Cayenne (the SUV) calipers. The Cayenne calipers aren't post-mount, and getting them to work would require not only a custom bracket, but likely a custom rotor as well. Not to mention I'm sure there is no abundance of performance/racing pads for a 3 ton SUV, so add custom pads to the list as well.

LegacyDan Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 this idea died when my car did, but lots of useful info all the same. i'll repaint the AP calipers while my car is off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
