Brake size?

[Geo_x]

Does anybody know the size of the Version-R brakes [front (diameter, thickness)]? Are the same as Colt CZT?

[lovecolt]

The front brakes are 15 inch, but the effective disc diameter is 232 mm and thickness is 25.8 mm

232mm?!?!? :eek: No way they are so small! On CZT they are 286mm....

[Steve-B]

they stop pretty well, also there are only single piston calipers....so there !

That's effective diameter, which is total disc size - the center hub = the part where a brake pad can rub onto. For total disc size, 15 inch = 381 mm :D

[Geo_x]

Yeap, thats exactly what i mean. On my CZT the rotor diameter is 286mm!

[lovecolt]

so, you mean the effective diameter of czt is 286?? u serious about that?

[Geo_x]

Yes, i'm sure about it. :) I'm looking for a brake upgrade kit, and i was just wondering whats the brake specs of Version-R. Any suggestions for a big brake kit? :D

8 piston calipers, cause they are sexy, not cause they are overkill.
Havent seen many kits yet, but justjdm the forum vendor says there are heaps available, maybe shoot him an email and see what he can suggest for you.

I had a quick look at a hub today...might just get a magna calipers in there 280mm
now this means we might get a Brembo in there

[Steve-B]

i think some investigating would help justjdm. cause if you can get a brembo kit, you will have my attention.
