just been offered a Stoptech BBK fitted for 1250 plus vat, im told thats a good price but i dont want it so if anybody is seriously interested drop me a mail and i will put you in touch

mods not sure where to put this or if its allowed so move or delete at will

 

That is a good price. IIRC it is a bit of work to install them.

 

Standard OEM wheels will no have enough clearance to fit any BBK

 

Why a BBK?

I can reliably lock the front wheels even on a grippy airfield.

And with good fluid and pads they don't fade either.

So it would seem the limiting factor is not the amount of power in the brakes, but the grip on road tyres.

Suspension mods / brake biasing controls would probably achieve better stopping distances.

 

For some people - like me - the BBK will always appeal.

I know OEM calipers with the right disc/pad/fluid/line combo will be superb, but i just can't escape the concept of huge stoppers - ap racing'll be my choice.

The stoptech solution is still a highly respectable choice.
