Very budget track build

Just make sure it's a bbk that is proven to work as you intend. If it's got the name "ap" or "Alcon" on it will be fine... if not then you might be back o square one

Going by the name of this build thread you know it isn't going to be one of them :grin: but it is a porsche caliper with a large disc, hopefully it's all it's cracked up to be.

Well... we need more info than that :signLOL:
Solid discs and you still might hit problems.

Haha I was hoping for a big reveal :grin: well if it's good nick as I been told and I do get it it's a 996 turbo 4 pot caliper running a 350mm ml merc disc. Seems to be a rated setup my only concern thus far is the seals from the heat but I imagine it would either be fine or someone surely makes titanium shims to protect them for what is a well known caliper on circuits.
Clarkj93:
So... did not get the 996 setup after because the seller took a while to get back to me so assumed they'd gone so I looked elsewhere, spoke to VBT who actually advised me to not get this setup additionally mainly because it will be painful trying to get discs and decent race pads, as the pad choice is slim they said and the discs needs to be machined by them as and when they can...
Instead I spontaneously got this instead
Golf R calipers. Pbs pads. Vbt j hooked discs.
Went for this setup as it was reasonably priced, lighter than the r32 caliper and if I want to upgrade to a 4 pot caliper of some variation in the future then the discs can be reused for the db9 and I think the megane calipers.
Only just got them on and bled after putting a shift on so not had a chance to use them yet.
