R32 Gts-t Stop On A Dime

[SKiTLz]

Im looking to upgrade my breaks on my R32 GTS-T. I really dont know as much about breaks as I should or would like too.

I was looking at DBA 4000 rotors due to everyones suggestion. Or possibly Project mU SCR since there easier to get over here in Canada.

Will these rotors be in an improvement in stopping distance or just less fading for track purposes. My car isnt a track car but with 300whp I want to be able to stop a little quicker.

If anyone has a good idea where to start I would appreciate it. Like I said I know little about breaking systems and products.

I think there is a tutorial about fitting gtr breaks, big 4 spotters - they came on my gts4 too, when I jump on the breaks I cant breath too well

Before changing rotors, I would recommend getting some decent hi-temp pads and some braided brake lines as a better solution to any braking problems.

Thanks guys. I will be doing the pads too but I really want to shorten up my braking. Are the DBA 4000 rotors any bigger than Stock GTS-T rotors? With my limited break knowledge Im assuming bigger rotors = shorten breaking distance?

What cond. is your current setup in? Have u had the std calipers rebuilt?

Ive got the r32 gtr front rotors and rebuilt calipers, running rb74's on the street. It'll lock the fronts if i want em to, any compound tyre..

Bigger rotors means less force on the pedal to stop..or something like that.

They are a straight replacement - just happen to have some slots machined into the surface, that's all.

I don't think bigger rotors will necessarily shorten your stopping distance - after all, its still 1400 kg of car you're trying to stop. Bigger rotor means more leverage, means less work to stop, means less heat.

Ok so its my calipers I really want to look at if my rotors are decent condition ( i honestly havent looked yet).

Can you run the GTR Brembos on your GTS-T or should I just have mine rebuilt?

If your car has ABS and the current brakes can activate it, then changing callipers, rotors or pads is a waste of money. The weak link in the stopping distance is tyres, buy the best tyres you can find. When you can longer activate the ABS, then it's time to upgrade the brakes.

SK that is the best and clearest advice I've ever read or heard regarding upgrading brakes. Nice

agre with above start simply before you spend the big $$ on brembo's etc...buy better tyres, brake pads and braided brake lines
