I love the brakes, how much bigger are the rooters over stock?

They are now 380mm which is 30mm larger at the front. The 350mm's are now on the back. The biggest different in the caliper, the pads are huge compared to the old ones so I expect some pretty powerfull braking and zero fade.

Apologies for bringing this thread back from the hinterland!

Just wondering if anyone has completed this upgrade on this side of the ocean?

Anyone have part #'s and details? Rims / spacers you would need to run, etc...

Any info would be much appreciated (and yes, I have used the sear function )

Hey Noone986s,

I love your suede steering wheel. Was that an option or aftermarket goody?

Where can I get one?

Thanks

It's from Ninemeister in the UK

http://www.ninemeister.com/

They exchange yours and re-trim it with Alcantara and Leather to look like the GT3 one. Its pretty much identical to the genuine GT3 one but much cheaper.

Thanks

Noone986S, very nice. Like others have said, those calipers are huge! Looks great.

Steering wheel is nice. I think on an actual GT3 the 12:00 mark is yellow.

Noone986s, are you sure about the size? I thought the GT3 front brakes were 350mm. Are those 6 piston or 4? Thanks.

Where did you get the brake kit? How much did it run you?

Loving the car man those brakes look massive, wheels really suit.

Where about are you in the UK?

Thanks for all the comments guys. I am happy with the way it looks now, also the steering wheel is much "blacker" in real life. I just need to decide on an exhaust system and I am done spending.

The power was estimated flywheel, i took it back on a dry day and got 257.4, so my cargraphic headers have only added 5 hp, they look great though

I am in Cheshire

Cheers
