Mr-T

Morning All,

I am currently in the process of making up a BBK with custom machined bracket.

This post is NOT to sell big brake kits, but simply to gauge interest in affordable BBK using common 1 piece discs instead of higher cost rotors.

The kit I am currently working on to fit my S2000 uses 330mm 1 piece discs with Aston Martin (Brembo) 4 pot monoblock callipers and Performance friction pads. The calliper piston area is similar to that found on other BBK's for the S2000 so will have a similar pedal feel.

Using a single piece common disc has a huge maintenance cost saving, costing around £200 for a set of discs and pads compared to £350+ for a new set of rotors excluding pads.

Current cost for the kits would depend on level of interest. Once testing and validation has been completed a group buy will be set up and spread across S2000 and EP3's.

1 Kit - £1750.00 (£1550 excluding Discs and Pads)
5 Kits - £1400.00 (£1200 excluding Discs and Pads)
10 Kits - £1150.00 (£950 excluding Discs and Pads)
20+ Kits - £1050.00 (£850 excluding Discs and Pads)

To try and make the kits more affordable, we have negotiated away the D&D and programming costs.
Still awaiting further confirmation from calliper supplier for 5+ kits, but can supply 10+ kits at costs below.

5 Kits : £ TBC awaiting confirmation from Calliper supplier - Estimating at £950
10+ Kits : £950 including Disks & Pads

Kit includes:
Aston Martin Brembo 4 Pot Calipers (Black / Red / Silver)
330mm Single Piece MTec Discs (Choice of style) Option to add coating +£14
Performance Friction Z Rated Pads
Billet Machined Aluminium (Grade: 6082 T6) Brackets hard anodised with PTFE coat
Grade 12.9 Bolts

(All New Parts)

The aim is to make a kit at the price of the cheaper bbk's, but using higher quality parts.







Confirmation of spacer size to run OEM 17's should be confirmed later this week.

Please note, this is NOT a group buy, and simply to gauge interest prior to setting up GB.
Register interest to confirm numbers.

Could be a good idea, what would it include its not quite clear?

Does it include discs, calipers and pads?

One thing i will say apart from a bigger caliper (which wont vastly improve braking) on standard disc the S2000 braking won't be improved much without going to a bigger disc, is this the case with your BBK idea?

Mr-T

Sorry if it was not clear.

Disc size increase from 300 -> 330mm
Kit should include callipers, brackets, discs and pads. (Could look to include braided lines as well).

I previously went from standard to K-Sport 304mm big brake kit and braking was vastly improved. I could not believe the difference.
Unfortunately the kit I had was only the 304, which I always thought looks small under the 17" wheels.
I was then presented with a good opportunity to obtain some brembo monoblock 4 pot's and so my mission began to fabricate a bracket.

Sounds good

What about handbrake issues that you have with some kits? or is it just for the front?

Mr-T

Kit will be for front only. Sorry, no intention for rear.

^ lol

I'm interested too

You could probably buy a complete Wilwood kit for under £1000.

Interesting idea, would this be for fitment under the stock 17" wheels or would aftermarket wheels be needed for clearance? I really like the standard wheels so would only be interested if this would with stock wheels.

Mr-T

Had a closer look and will most likely look at using the AP Racing CP6600 caliper.
