lets see your brakes!

abhishriv · 12-09-2012, 09:23 PM

Thought it would be cool for everyone who has modified their brakes to post up some pics of their setups. Also it would serve as a reference for anyone looking to do a similar mod in the future.

Heres what we're looking for...

- painted calipers
- aftermarket rotors + pads
- BBK

No stock setups please, we all know what they look like. Also just mention what the setup is if people are interested.

Ill get the ball rolling.

R1 concepts custom slotted premium rotors + EBC redstuff pads. And yes i was doing a stud conversion when i took these pics.

Here's my cross drilled, and slotted rotors, with painted black calipers, and yes I know they are on the small side, but better than stock.

Thank you! Mine is actually electric red (JapanRot) though. Yours looks really nice too!

Oh boy. Only wish it was spring so I can give a proper photoshoot.

iczz · 12-10-2012, 12:47 AM

OP your rotor looks great, any improvement on the performance?

I am also in the market for new rotors and pads!

TIA!!

Calipers painted same colour as the wheels. I wanted a subtle look.

Are those stock calipers? What is the M logo, a decal? It looks really sharp!

Thanks! I like these much more than the stock as they have a more linear brake feel. Haven't had the chance to test them out on the track though yet to see how they cope with heat. As all slotted rotors they are more noisy than stock blanks and Make a turbine type noise when coming to stop.
