T4 big brake kits.

MidnightT4 · Dec 20th, 2008, 17:04

Well i was going to go for KAD 6pot brake kit for the ovlov.

Now ive been in thought about this and found out godspeed can do a 4pot upgrade caliper kit with 308 or 325mm discs

325mm Discs (any spec)
Aluminium bells
Pair of four pot calipers
Mounting brackets, nuts & bolts
Mintex M1144 fast road pads

They have done a few evo 2 and 3's so should be easy enough for the s40.

Anybody got any feedback on godspeed??

Hi I would strongly recommend an AP kit for your car a very good kit and very well made that has the performance to match not cheap but very good.

k-sport also do brakes for our cars, not sure if they are s40 specific or evo 3 brakes, but a couple of guys have them in the states

What power are you running to need a BBK though?
Evo 3 Calipers, disc, pads and braided hoses provide a massive increase in breaking (just ask me or Spangoolies about that

)
Total price, even using uprated discs and pads etc will still not come to more than £500 and the breaking is more than enough for upto 300bhp.
Just a thought.

just boredom and want big brakes for behind the wheels lol. Cars going to 260hp more trying to get suspension just now and its begining to annoy me.

Just go Evo mate, the difference is astounding over stock and the parts are cheaper to replace too

I am assuming you are planning on using the hybrid 14T turbo to hit 260? Or maybe even a 16T?

Well i was going to go with an mte stage 2 once i fit the intercooler and downpipe to see how i liked it but main task first is to fit the Quaffe.

I wont realy touch a 16T so would be a 14T hybrid for ease of fitting.

Sounds like you have it all in hand then mate

One thing I would definitely say about the Evo option is that of course you can go for the Evo upgraded discs and pads too (christ that would eb scary lol)
