Furkz 0 Posted March 28, 2004 Hello, i need some new brakes, am running std G60 ones t the moment but they are not coping well, since i have it tuned. i have been looking into the brembo setup and the group buy (which i think isnt happening anymore) what would you guys recommend, also where would be the best and cheapest place to go and buy the brembo setup... Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted March 28, 2004 Dunno about cheapest, but for sheer ease, I got mine from Badger5... came with everything you need all in one nice big box... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbywhacker 0 Posted March 28, 2004 tarox do a 6 and 10 pot caliper that fits a VR, might do 1 that fits a G60 aswell.... u don't need after market wheels for them to fit either...... apparently :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted March 28, 2004 Get the Seat brembos (4 pot and 305mm discs) Badger5 as Henry said is the best place to get them from, around £400-500 for everything I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted March 28, 2004 Yep I would agree with that. Brembos are a dead easy conversion and they seriously work!! J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted March 28, 2004 cheers guys, how do i get in contact with badger5,,,,,, also is there any other brand such as tarox or black diamond that do a cheaper alternative has im not intending to tune the car to a serious level just prob over 200bhp ish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted March 28, 2004 Bill Brockbank is the man to speak to. Details are at http://www.Badger5.co.uk. This kit has everything you need. However you do have to either buy new caliper bolts or cut down the standard ones. J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted March 28, 2004 However you do have to either buy new caliper bolts or cut down the standard ones Which only takes a couple of minutes to do, and you only need to take off about 5 or 6mm 8) (I'd forgotten about this until I test fitted mine today! :roll: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted March 28, 2004 how much did they come too... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted March 29, 2004 When I bought mine in December they were £468 all in Inc. delivery... 8) They're a doddle to fit too... 8) Do make sure that they will fit inside your wheels though! I've had to use an 8mm spacer to get my 16x7.5 Borbet C alloys to clear the calipers... :| If you know someone who has a set of these fitted, ask them nicely if you can try one of your wheels on their car so that you'll know it'll fit properly... 16VG60 did this for me when I went to pick my block up from him, so I knew they'd fit, but it was still a bit scarey seeing them on for the first time... there's not a lot of clearance with a 16" wheel! :crazyeyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted March 29, 2004 ive got 17x7 so i think i should be alright??????? is there any sort of other alternatives coz i think the brembos setup might be a bit too much for me...although they are very very tempting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandy 0 Posted March 30, 2004 tarox do a 6 and 10 pot caliper that fits a VR, might do 1 that fits a G60 aswell.... u don't need after market wheels for them to fit either...... apparently :roll: They do have tarox 6 pots on my g60 with 312mm discs Sandy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60JAY 0 Posted March 30, 2004 I bought a set of discs,calipers,bolts and brackets for around 280 pounds + vat at my local seat dealer. Should be the same in other dealers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbywhacker 0 Posted March 30, 2004 those tarox 1's any good? Thought about getting a set, but running them under the standard 15" speedlines Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60bv 0 Posted March 30, 2004 don;t muck about with tarox, seat use brembo as standard for a reason, infact loads of manufacture's use brembo, all for a good reason, there bloody brillient and for under £500, it really shouldn't be a problem, remember never skint on the brakes. they will last the life of the car, once there done. just enjoy them, 8) and negative -g's are just as fun as the positve, and a damed sight cheaper to get. i've had miine on for over a year, the pads look like new the disks are as good, no bluing at all. replacents are cheap, even from seat. and euro car parts and gsf are going so stock parts for them soon, even cheaper. do it , you'll never regret it, even if it means saving thart bit longer., as for so space, it's not the diameter that the real prob althou 16" are the min. it's the cailper clearance to the spokes, i 've got bbs rc in 17" and 35 or 38 et, they JUST fit, about 3mm between them :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
