They stop within a few feet of each other. Tires will make more of a difference for braking on the street.

 

Holy crap thats a nice bbk. I bet if you slam on the brakes with the right tires and pads your face will rip off lol

 

That's a nice looking Z man. I live in the East Lake area probably like 20 minutes away from where you, it's crazy how I've never seen that car yet. If you ever see an 04 white on black Z that's me.

 

Be careful, you also have to worry the stupid drivers tailgating behind you, whom are not able to stop fast enough than your bbk. My Stoptech 6/4 pot BBK never fail me on street, but I always watch out for the cars behind me. On track, my bbk is ironically unstoppable, get it, lol. Either way, upgrade the bbk was the best investment I ever put on the car, because you can save unsprung weight and stop more efficiently on track, add the cool look rolling on street.

 

265/30, 295/30 Michelin pilot super sports FTW!

 

Sweet! I'll keep my eye out for you on 19!

 

Great question! Couple of reasons. First, these particular calipers are not available to the public made only for Porsche. They're are the only ones that come with ceramic isolators. But not only that, 6 piston Brembos online seem to be close to the $4000 mark. VSR has them for $2499 and $210 installed! It's crazy to get such good brakes so cheap!

 

Anybody know the part # for the calipers? Wondering what the pistons sizes are? piston size is vital for braking balance.

Call me crazy, but I don't think the piston sizes for an RR car is going to be the same for a FR car.

 

Lol, while I agree with all the physics behind stopping power/ KE/ tire compound, you guys are all forgetting the feeling of huge red BBK the diameter of a prius wheel & tire.
Honestly if I saw those brakes roll up to me I would probably shed a tear due to the beauty.
Great choice of wheels too, really shows of those monsters. This car is a complete package now for sure.

 

I'll try to find out. I know that the pistons are graduates size, because there's also some function on these calipers where the pressure builds up on light braking first with the smaller pistons, then with increased force, you recruit more of the bigger pistons.

 

Thanks! I'm really happy with how it's all turning out. I get a lot of looks at them too while I'm driving. If it's not the intercooler getting stared at, it seems to be the front wheels which I assume is because of the big red!

 

Alright man you gotta go wash your car and take a full profile pics. You should paint your wheels phantom edition colors with time attack stripe

 

Kinda cool, I wonder how they get them to work like that? The other companies stage pistons for much different reasons.

 

gotcha. So the fact that larger pistons are required to generate the same clamping force across the rotor due to heat is just a by product of this crazy design.

 

Phantom edition paint job on the rims is definitely high on the future list. They need a polish now, and if I don't like the post polish maintneance then phantom it is. I just realized I haven't really posted any pics since I started this process so I'll get going on that. I'm also going to do a turbo write up w vids.
