Fitted it all up yesterday with minimum of fuss...kind of...
Stops awesome! Very happy with the result! Can't wait to get back out on the track.

Will have to get some close ups...

Sweet.. New or second hand..?? what did it cost you..?? did yo have to make any mods to make them fit..? :D

w00000000000t

awesome dude! :D

now just get some nice slotted rotors for a bit of wank factor :P

what ego said.. how much? have to change anything?

is it that good an upgrade from the decent stcok brakes man?

Second hand off an EVO 6, all up cost me bout 3 and a bit grand with rotors and Pagid RS4-2 pads. Had to make a 4mm spacer to fit on the rear hub behind the rotor to get the calliper offset right(thanks to TooSlow for the advice on that). Got new braided lines made up as well. I want to recondition the callipers as they look a bit "used", but gotta save some money first.

Nah, that's what the braided lines are for :D

Nice work, Cummins!

The std ralliart brakes are heaps better than the standard magna brakes but this is in a whole new league.

whats the benefits to this stuff benny?

did the golden beast have this stuff done?

PROS; dispursts heat better, better pad bite, plenty of wanking to be done over em
CONS; uses more pads, if not treated right has tendacy to form hairline factures; $$

i had xdrilled and slotted, but not brembos tho :(

Cross drilled is just w@nk and will chew out your pads REAL quick!

Slotted is enough.

So you brake like a real sports car now ;) good stuff!!

the magna IS a sportscar...

i know im a fool...

mmm...nice very nice

i remember mr. pineapple had a thread with exactly the same title once!! mmm...brembo, and it got shut down and deleted that night i think :bowrofl:


thought spacers and braided lines were frowned upon by the cops?

what are braided lines exactly... and why would the po po hate em?

probably are but unless they take the *** wheel off i dont think i they will be able to tell.

Well you got one thing right ;)

Braided brake lines are legal as long as they are ADR compliant. Basically it replaces the rubber hoses which means the hoses can't flex, which gives a better brake feel, and won't lead to brake fade as quickly.

How many pistons are in those calipers?? They 4's or 6's???

Oh - and feel free to buy some larger rotors to fill those wheels up a little bit more haha

The lines have ADR stamped on 'em so i'm safe in that respect. They are 4 pot fronts, 2 pot rears. Will be getting some DBA5000's(slots, 2 piece, ally hat) when i wear these rotors out.

DBA rotors are same size as standard Magna though. Bit of a wasted effort IMHO.

Its not just the size that matters - the slotted rotors will provide more efficient braking then non slotted.

The rotors are for an evo GSR version 5-8, They are 320 x 32 fronts and 300 x 22 rears, make a big diff!

Very true, found that out on my TS, mind u it wears the pads at a much greater rate.

Sorry I was referring to Booya's post - DBA's Magna offerings are the same size as standard Magna ones.

sorry mate, hungry, not thinkin straight...

I remember doing a 100-0 stop in an evo6 on my L's. Was in a different league to the Ralliart we had. Brembos are great :D

ever tried?

didnt think so :P


Cummings

320x28 f
301x28 r

is the EVO series, DBA 5000 with twin hat design would be da bomb.

however, you can get AP RACING 285/28x (f) and 345x28 (r) to two piece design on carbon disks fit those calipers.

leave the rears and upgrade the front to 6p, with AP Racing CP5550 series caliper for up to 410x32 size disk!! :shock:

been there studied everthing that would fit - and anything that i could make fit!!

That would be sick!!! :drool:

These are the GSR ver brakes so they are 320 x 32 fronts and 300 x 22 rears.

I had good look at the 360mm AP setup but finding a wheel to fit over the callipers would be the hardest thing, not to mention the cost!

19x9" wheel via a +41 offset (or any 19" wheel that "would" normally fit the EVO7 offset of +38 where the inside of the wheels are contured out to fit the EVO brakes;



ask and you will be told :badgrin:

its funny cos the 4k i had put away for brakes eventually got spent to fix my car after the accident :rant:

another months wages would of had me with 360mm AP /6piston :rant:

not ranting now - cos man, id of shot myself if i had of lost that with the fire :rant: :rant:

Yeah, it's the conture on the inside that's the key, wouldn't be able to have much of a dish, if any.

They woulda been some expensive brakes to have melted! My condolences BTW!

Nice work mate. :thumbsup:

I trial fitted mine during the week they only just fit inside my 17's. Im using the DBA 4000 series rotors (4418 front & 4419 rear). I just got to get some brake lines.

How much did your bradied ones cost?

Sweet, you'll love 'em.
Got them trade, $70 a line, very nicely made.

I have done the 295 upgrade to the front of my magna with the twin pot calipers.

Do you or anyone know if you could upgrade the front end to 4pot with no other changes to the size of the rotor.

Main reason is I have 16 inch rims and dont want to spend big on bigger rims for insurance reasons and as I have already spent alot on decent rims and tyres I am happy with.

Cheers

Booya,

Cheersyou should be able to find a 4p caliper :)

ill do some research:)

i have a very good feeling these would fit...

and they are pretty cheap!! - normally around 600 EACH, let alone bidding for a PAIR.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43807&item=4562164731&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

will need pads - but competion friction could organise that :cool:

Why are calipers so expensive?

Thanks for your help.
