Default BRAKE UPGRADE

I would like to improve the braking of my carrera 2 345 hp, with discs front and rear amggiorati. I would not change the calipers with those of the turbo not to have to change too many pieces, someone produces front discs 330 340 28 mm thick, but like the original? At the rear you can mount the disks of turbo 4s without changing the calipers?

The former commercial adviser from FVD in Germany is now my friend's wife.
She told me to purchase the Trickstuff pads in FVD
She is a real expert and knows the whole references in FVD

Similar performance to Pagid and cheaper

But if I wanted to put a larger hard drive? 330? What's also needed this turbo caliper, there 'someone who makes a 330 * 28?

Here's what I'd always understood: Brake cooling ducts rely on venturi effect to work. Thus, cars that are driven faster get bigger ducts because they'll be moving more air. But a bigger duct on a car that isn't driven fast actually does a worse job of cooling the brakes (assuming a situation in which a street driven car would have that problem). Not so?

I've already seen the Girodisc, but aesthetically I do not like.

Ale-Superbike:

What problems are you having with your stock brakes? Let us know what you are trying to fix, and we can help.

If you are just looking for a visually-impressive big brake kit, that would be good to know too.

Im assuming that the OP is tracking his car (hence the brake upgrade)..... yes, they do work because of the constant braking that you do.... on the street, they dont do squat.

Hello I use the car on the street and some track time. I wish I had more problems with fading, (Pagid yellow tubes) and a larger hard drive without changing a clamp to heat dissipation and eastern part.
