Hello,

Nice brakes!

On another note, I noticed in your signature it says that you have fitted a piper cross induction kit.

1. Has it made any performance change?
2. Has it made a noise change?

Any chance of uploading a photo?

Many Thanks

Russell

 

They look quite nice!!!

Is it a difficult install to do?

Hi mate. Mate in terms of performance I got before and after results on a dyno and yes it's help quite a fair amount I think it wat around 13 bhp il have to check the dyno sheet. Sound wise it's only a little louder.and a bit more meaty.but well worth doing il take a pic later for you.

Nah really easy. Brackets are a straight fit. So as easy as taking off a tyre and undoing some more bolts. Just very fiddely when changing brake lines and bleeding the system. I suggest if ur planning to do it make sure u have a toured wrench as some of the bolts are a rite pain.

 

very nice.

how much did u pay for that if u dont mind
is it possible to fit those whit my 18inch wheels or u got to have 19"s

They apparently can in some cases however u will need a spacer of 15 mm.

Mine are two months old with a proof of purchase but the car has been a write off so I got them for £550 it has barely been bedded in. Really happy with the purchase.

:lol: agree

 

Nice looking set-up there. Something I will be doing sometime in the near future How do you find the pads? If I had the choice I would of gone with the ferodo DS2000 pad or a Pagid if it would fit.

 

bit over kill for a 2.0? std brakes are more than good enough for the output.

Standard brakes are good but no harm in upgrading if the car was standard. The OP has a remap looking at his sig which does warrant upgraded brakes really.

 

You can never have big enough brakes in my opinion. If you end up with excessive stopping power you will only trigger the ABS, so with bigger brakes you get the maximum potential braking for the amount of road surface grip.

And why would an RS need bigger brakes than an S or a 2.0. Or even a diesel? They weigh roughly the same, have the same tyre contact patch size and, under anything other than trackday conditions they will be stopping from similar speeds. I suspect the faster models have bigger brakes because the marketing department wants a point of difference and there is more in the kitty for parts than the cheaper models.

Lol if I'm upgrading my brakes it's not only about the braking power I need now. Which like you've guessed I have done re map and exhaust and filters and bits and bobs. But it what plans I have in the future lol. And for the price how can I of said no. As I need new disks and pads anyways. So if you see it from that way then makes mores since..........plus look at them lol.

lol what brakes are u running

 

I personally think that brakes and tyres are the most important bits on a car so you can never have big enough brakes 8)
