ridiculous!

Those look cool!

 

With stopping power identical to hitting a brick wall.

First off. I think it's a bit overkill for normal road use. Second, just because you can brake on a dime doesn't mean your tires will get the message. I have seen brakes lock up even in dry conditions. Anyone dissagree?

 

Tarox is another option for 12-pot.

 

That seems way overkill to me... 6 pot was created for pad wear, heat, etc. not for clamping force. Is anyone getting seriously uneven pad wear from their 6 pot calipers? But you could be the first on your block I guess...

 

Haha crazy

 

I agree.. over kill..

 

Yeah right.....Everytime you hit the brakes you'll look like some 14 yr old kid learning to drive a stick..

 

well if its found on race cars why not on a street car?
street car technologies usually come from racing anyways...
its like our car is as fast as a ferrari 355 10 years ago...
so i'd think that every car is gonna have 12pot brakes 10-15 years from now on

 

I e-mailed Tarox (another 12-pot caliper maker, saw name above) to find out what would it take (in terms of compatible offsets, money, etc) to put their system on 18" wheel Z (front and rear brakes). I'll post whatever info I get from them to share. BTW, how good is tarox anyway?

BTW, LLTEC Brakes (in case some is wondering and hasn't found out) will not fit our car, so much for taking advantage of their 50% off 6- and 8-pot caliper sale. Oh well...

 

... thats crazy. Who's gonna be the first...

 

 

Well when our commutes are 150 miles each way with heavy turn-pins and speed limits of 150 mph… and the average driver is taking their car in for warranty work for the brakes cuz their pads are wearing with a 30degree tapers… then maybe we’ll all have 12 pot calipers. But only on the Track models!

 

crazy

 

zeal sells a 12 piston in japan, its pretty, but the racing 6 and 4 would be my choice

 

talk about unsrung weight :O

 

Nice way to lighten the rotors.
