Stoptech bbk arrived

(1/4) > >>

GTIjames:
been after a better set of brakes for some time and came across these on balance motorsports website, seem to get good feedback across the pond and were a cheaper option than brembo, alcon and ap the other brands i had been considering.

had to wait a few weeks for delivery as they came from the US but finally arrived the other day and hopefully getting them put on this week  :jumpmove:

good service as always from julian at balance



stoptech bbk - 4 pot calipers with zinc slotted discs and steel brake lines

think they look pretty good imo and feel well made, red calipers is what i was after to keep it looking oem

not looking forward to bedding them in the instructions tell you to accelerate to 60mph then brake to 10mph not just once but 10 times in a row  :rolleye:

more pics and a some feedback as soon as they are on,

hope you like

Top Cat:
I likey a lotty  :happy2:

For the bedding in just drive down the M6 about about 4 oclock in the afternoon, its exactly as per bedding in instructions.  :drinking:

joesgti:
how much if you dont mind me asking? brakes are my next mod  :smiley:

tony_danza:
I hear they're very good, what disc size did you go for?

GTIjames:
thanks for the kind words

disc size is 328x28 - should be adequate for my needs and should hopefully fit 18" wheels without spacers

found this on another forum dont fancy fitting myself but looks good once on .

price wise was not cheap as with all bbk's but should not come to more than £1300 all in and fitted :happy2:
