Big brake kits = increased stopping distances making the probabilty of hitting a deer greater. Stick with the stock brakes.

[Pointdsm]

Agreed^^^ Glad I decided to stick with my stock brakes.

[TSi_II]

I'd think if you spend a few thousand dollars on stopping, you should be able to stop pretty damn quick.

[VPT]

Its all for show like cross drilled and slutted rotors.

[TomKat]

I'd think if you spend a few thousand dollars on stopping, you should be able to stop pretty damn quick.

Read the magazine tests where they actually test the braking performance of big brake kits. Instead of magizines that say: Ohhh don't those aftermarket brakes look purrrrrrddddddyyyyy.

[TSi_II]

I guess I'll keep my eyes out for one.

[devlish]

what can you get for an 86 Omni GLH?? anything cool?? j/k

[Posihead]

I gave prices, but I guess your all broke, thanks for getting back to me...

[Pointdsm]

I can get the pads cheaper, where I bought mine from, i wasn't going to buy anything, but just knowledge for when I do buy them.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

So, Underpressure Motorsports, I am about to order some Hawk HP Plus Brake pads for my 95 talon tsi awd, front set. Tirerack has them for about $116 shipped to my door.

What is your price?

also, if possable, can you get the Hawk Blue 9012, and whats the price on those for the same vehical?

[adamvann3]

Keep your pants on posi, sorry I have been out of the game for a while with the knee...

Sent you a pm with some parts

[flosho]

You're telling me that a 6/8 piston brake set up with good pads and good rotors is gonna take longer to stop than a stock 1 piston setup? Not all big brake upgrades are created equal.

[TomKat]

You're telling me that a 6/8 piston brake set up with good pads and good rotors is gonna take longer to stop than a stock 1 piston setup? Not all big brake upgrades are created equal.

Yes and yes.

[adamvann3]

Yes and yes.

That's what she said

[flosho]

You're telling me that a 6/8 piston brake set up with good pads and good rotors is gonna take longer to stop than a stock 1 piston setup? Not all big brake upgrades are created equal.

Yes and yes.

You also have to take into consideration, the need for new ss lines, possibly a better brake booster, and if you have to upgrade to bigger rims because of the brakes.

However, a properly set up brake upgrade should definately improve stopping distance.

[TomKat]

Unfortunately it doesn't. Stock works best.

[TSi_II]

Me and Mattsubishi had this convorsation earlier today for a few minutes.... I could have taken it wrong, but he was explaining that their main pourpose might not be to decrease breaking distances, but the whole heat dissipation thing while track racing would be where they could be of some use.

[VPT]

But than you have bigger brakes, bigger wheels to accomodate the bigger brakes, and bigger tires to wrap those BIG wheels which in turn adds like 50 extra pounds of rotational weight that the car has to get going out of the corners and that much more weight and mass that the brakes have to stop.

Anyone that drag races on the regular bassis knows that bigger tires slow you down alot unless you have the power to turn them.

They invented cooling ducts and venting for brake cooling.

[flosho]

Unfortunately it doesn't. Stock works best.

I still have to disagree, I guess my car is just different, or the stock brakes REALLY suck.. :roll:

I would say, cooler brakes, allow for better braking power.

Well ofcourse if you slap on the biggest brakes available, it wont necessarily help. There is deminishing returns in terms of bigger brakes. Going slightly bigger with better calipers, better pads, better lines, all compared to stock, I would say the "bigger" brakes would perform better, less fade, shorter stopping distance.

Also not like you cant buy lightweight rims that are still quality rims, just cost you some more $$$.

[TomKat]

Good point VPT. Even if you buy the lightest wheel out there you are still increasing your rotational wieght a lot and that will increase stopping distance.

What kind of car do you have Flosho?

There are reasons to go with bigger brakes. I've seen serious lappers at Road America run them, but is there anyone in our group that would have the need for bigger brakes...... No.

[Pointdsm]

You might on the vette, probably the closest thing. If you decide to take the vette back to RA. Very smart thread here, actually learning.

[TomKat]

Zoey's brakes worked just fine at Road America when I attended a lapping day there. If I were to go into wheel to wheel racing then I may benefit from a brake upgrade.

Factory engineered stuff works great. Almost all aftermarket stuff is just crap.

[Pointdsm]

I wouldn't go as far as saying "almost all". A FMIC is crap over a SMIC? A different BOV is crap over a stock one? OEM pads better than aftermarket? What about suspension?

[flosho]

I think zoey's brakes a bit different than your standard disc brakes, they are essentially track ready off the show room floor, where as many cars don't have that luxury.

Well until I see actual evidence that a certain brake kit hurts performance, I'll still believe that money spent on upgraded brakes is money well spent.

I also think while the factory tends to many things well, that doesn't mean everything they do is the best it can be, meaning there are plenty of aftermarket upgrades that are better than stock and not junk.

Of course for every quality aftermarket piece, there are 100 knock-offs that are worthless.

[TomKat]

I wouldn't go as far as saying "almost all". A FMIC is crap over a SMIC? A different BOV is crap over a stock one? OEM pads better than aftermarket? What about suspension?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Most of the time.

Modified cars can perform better, but once they are modified they become "high maintenance". Very high maintenance. So they may perform better, but will you be sitting out a lapping session fixing that better FMIC.

A running/working car performs 100% better than a car down for repairs.

[vettehead]

Come on tom you're killing the enthusiasm.
Faster is always better no matter the cost.;)



Lessons learned, lessons learned.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

i beleave when the manufacturer designs their parts, they do not think only performance, but many other things like brake noise, brake dust, and probably a few other things that acctually take away from performance.

[flosho]

Well there's always a trade off.. Lap in your "stock" car its going to be slower, do any amount of signifcant racing, you'll want to upgrade your suspension, and some other parts. If done right very rarely will you see someone sitting out a session because they are fixing their "aftermarket shock".

Or crank up the boost, on that tiny side mount, only to start running hot and you'll be sitting out, and the guy with the properly sized front mount will be running just fine.

There's alot of people out there that half ass their vehicles, which is why when they put aftermarket shit on their cars, they become unreliable.

Guy. I do a lot of lapping days, autocross event, rallycross events, and high speed autocross events. After years of experience what I have been posting is what I have learned.

Yes I have seen guys (more than one) out of service because they had to fix their aftermarket shock.

The guy with the front mount intercooler will be in the pits making repairs while the guy with the stock side mount and a boost increase will still be making laps. Ask PDSM.

Sometimes it is necessary to upgrade. But and this is a big but. I suggest only upgrading after you find out through racing that you need the upgrade. Once you do the upgrade one must realize that the car will become a high maintenance beotch.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

I am going to have to disagree with you slightly tomkat, uping boost on a stock Side mount is a BIG no-no and will eventually blow up as a side mount develope heat soak REALLY quick. Now the guy with the FMIC might have a few small problems like I/C piping poping off because he probably went and through on some piping without making some sort of brackets to hold the piping in place.

As for aftermarket parts, I have seen them fail before, but 9 times out of 10, its from some sort of installation error.

[Pointdsm]

I agree with Dizmm, and the bracket idea Evil had is great, i'll do that as soon as I get stuff how I want it when i get home.

[devlish]

ok, i don't do a lot of racing, but i'm going to go ahead and agree with TK on his last statement only. drive your car to it's current limitations, then figure out what/where you need to upgrade.

i will disagree with him on the fact that almost all aftermarket is crap compared to OEM stuff. but then again, it depends on the car we're talking about too. stock brakes/suspension on a Z06 corvette a probably a little better than stock brakes/suspension on a honda civic for example. a car built for a beating vs a car built to move people. TK is a little more accustomed to his "race" cars (type Rrrr & Z06)

as for tires, i don't EVER remember seeing hoosier race slicks as a OEM replacement tire for any car on the market. does that mean the eagle rs-a recommended by mitusbishi as a OEM replacement tire is just as good of a tire? or do some things not fall under this "oem is just as good" theory?

I understand that you do a lot of racing, and attend a lot of events.

No one is debating the necessity of aftermarket upgrades.. I am saying that as far as quality goes, there are some aftermarket companies and products that have far superior quality parts compared to the quality of OEM parts.

I'm sure just as many people have problems with stock parts as aftermarket parts.

I would also agree with Dizmm, I would bet a good majority of failures by aftermarket parts is due to an installation error.. or because its junk to begin with.

Everyone understands that there are a team of engineers that work together to put an automobile on the street and make it last 100,000's of miles, but that doesn't mean there isn't an equally or more talented team of engineers building aftermarket parts for those cars too.

BTW, I'm not trying to get everyone fired up, and I do agree with you, TK to a point but I don't think its nearly as black and white as you make it out to be. This is a good debate/thread though (maybe a little off topic from the original topic..)

[TomKat]

Tires and brake pads do not fall under my theory, but be careful to buy quality replacement parts.

I have raced several "normal" cars too. I just had my Dad's Accord at Black hawk. Stock brakes worked just fine with a simple pad replacement.

If aftermarket engineers were as talented they'd be working for the car companies.

Yes this is not as black and white as I'm making it out to be, but I hope you guys realize aftermarket stuff isn't that great.

Installation error - Give me a break. Aftermarket suff usually fits for shit.

Heat soak. :o Oh my I hope that guy with the side mount will live to tell about it. Hell he'll have more stories about racing around the track compared to the guy in the pits putting his intercooler pipes back on.

[Pointdsm]

um, with my sidemount i could do one strong pull and feel my SMIC, it was hot on both sides.

[TomKat]

But it was still running.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

But it was still running.

would not for long if he kept beating on it, heat causes knock, that cuases engine to blow the fuck up. wont be running after that.

[devlish]

But it was still running.

would not for long if he kept beating on it, heat causes knock, that cuases engine to blow the fuck up. wont be running after that. yup. just go ahead and keep that stock SMIC, then when it blows up, call TK and have him pick you up (free of charge of course) and blame him for the advice to stay stock

this proves my point from my other post. stock is great, if you don't plan to push the limits of your car. but if you want a faster than stock car, it can't remain stock.

[TSi_II]

So a stock SMIC on a DSM is better than a correctly sized (for your application) and installed Buschur front mount? I think not, I see absolutley no negatives to something like that if it is all done how it's supposed to.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

and that means fabricate some brackets to hold the I/C piping in place so they dont keep popping off, just like the stock I/C piping is held in place with brackets so they dont move.

I had this problem on my conquest but I was using a worm clamp. What I did use to cure this problem is to get T-bolt clamps and never once it ever popped off. So I didn't have any brackets to hold it in place. You really don't want to have have brackets on all the hard pipes because engine moves and needs to give out.

I had T-bolt clamps and they kept poping off at BHF. You want some bracing on the pipes. The couplers are their to allow the pipes to move.

since i installed my FMIC over 2yrs ago, i haven't touched them since for a boost leak problem

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

since i installed my FMIC over 2yrs ago, i haven't touched them since for a boost leak problem

you never really raced the car. Take it on a road course, i bet you'll blow one off at least once. Mine did not blow off until blackhawk
