Do You Reckon These Will Fit?

[eagle]

please don't take this the wrong way ... but ..
are you sure they will fit onto the disc corectly??
think its time to gt som bigger discs for them calipers .. the swept area of the disc will be miles too small .... also the breaking pressure will be possibly be reduced as the clamping area on the disc will be too large ..
on the correct size disc you will find that the pressure will be much greater as the clamping area will be smaller ..

but fook me them are hoooge ...

Looks like they are going to be too wide across the calliper i.e. would dig into the wheel itself (and the wheels are as wide as I can go) but over the disc area it looks like they would be OK. I'll take a better look when I've got the other jobs done on the long list I have to do.

Sorry to hijack an thread but i 've got myself a massive set of calipers off a merc S class. They are a pair of Brembo 4 pot calipers but i have the same problem as the will dig into the wheels.
The question i wanted answering was that if i was to get say a 15mm spacer for each of the hubs would this cause a problem in the way of the TXB havin extra camber on each of the wheels???

Be sure to use drilled discs to eliminate brake fade as these calipers will have allot of stopping power if offerd up to the correct master cylinder.

Braided hoses all round?

If porsche and lambos still use drilled discs its good enough for me.

if you use drilled discs eventually you will get a disc failure at one of these drilled holes

you only really need grooved discs to deglaze the pad if they are being used with any real force, but then you would be using a much harder compound of brake pad.
Brake fade occurs because the brake discs heat up. The hot surface of the brake disc glazes the friction material of the brake pads.

the camber angle will not change .. it will of course be more "obvious" if you space out the wheel and extra 15mm, you could try to get some adjustable track control arms to bring the angle down

as i stated before .. no use having monster calipers if you can not use them with the correct sized diameter disc.

Yeah a very valid point i will need some bigger disc but i'm hoping i can squeeze a set of Merc sport discs on which are truely massive something like 330mm. The biggest problem i for see is finding someone to make a "proper" caliper bracket up. After all these are brakes and its and area i'd prefer not to cut corners on if you no what i mean.
Any ideas?

could try reyland .. im sure martin will be more than capable of creating something

[chunkylover]

Another thing has occured to me what should i do about a master cylinder?? **** that could be a bigger problem????

[eagle]

i am running ap 6 pots on standard cosworth master cylinder .. seems ok to me .. except when i leave the abs connected, it seems to have a spazz attack and i get what can only be called brake fade as the abs ecu argues with the calipers and pads saying you cant exert that much pressure at once ...

[chunkylover]

was that a straight fit?? Ok i guess you had to convert the lines but anything else??

[eagle]

straight fit .. just had to get a different braided end and have the track rod ends made up so that i could gain another 5mm clearance for the brake disc
