What are the brake pads like pad vs rotor wear?

The high performance pads (500 degree) are equivelent performance-wise to Bendix Ultimates, but should last roughly twice as long. The high performance pads also produce about 90% less dust then the Bendix Ultimates.

The track day pads (750 degree) can handle approximately 100 more degrees than the EBC greens. They will also last roughly twice as long as the EBC greens and have about half the wear and dust.

Obviously all these figures depend on your driving style, but these are a rough estimate.

If anyone has anymore questions, please ask.

Braided brake Lines --- is the group buy still going?

When is the last day?

Also how long does it take for delivery?

I have track day end of nov (this month) .. so i would need it soon

Also is this a bolt on type job?

Anything else required to fit ?

Hi siddr20,

I'm taking orders for this GB as we speak. GB closes at the end of this month.

Hoses are generally being shipped the day after payment is received.

These are a direct replacement for your old hoses, so just take off the old ones and put the new ones straight on.

All you'll need to do is bleed the brakes slightly once you put the new hoses on. Fairly easy to do.

If you have anymore questions, just ask.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

i see now you have the Stagea fronts for the braided brake lines. Are they the same as the R33Gtr? how about the rears? Is the stagea for a RS4s or 260rs? Will they be the same? Let me know.

Do you have anything for the the pads? Its equilvalent to the R33GTR brembos.

Hi stasis,

From memory, from what BrakeWest said, the hoses are similar to the 33 GTR. The rear hoses are a pain in the a$$, that's why BW aren't doing them. It involved changing changing some fittings on your car from imperial to metric and was more trouble then its worth. This was all for a 260RS, not sure about the RS4.

For pads, BW don't have anything available for Brembo systems unfortunately. I was using the K750's with my standard GTR brakes, but since i put Brembo's on the car, I've had to settle for EBC's.

Cheers

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
