New Front Brake Upgrade!

[doski]

As the car if off the road while i do some engine work i thought i would upgrade the front brakes as i was given a DB Power M3 disc kit for a s13!

Old set up


New set up

WOW bet that stops. Are the brackets for an S13 ? Do the redrilled discs go over the standard Silvia hubs or would I need them machined as you did ?

[s13eater]

are they the 315mm ones matey ? i use the r32 298mm with the r32 calipers.

northerner the brakets are for a s13, the kit comes with extra spacers but they are not needed on s12, I think they would probably go over the hubs without machining, will check tomorrow for you.

s13eater, they are the 315 kit. dan at db power can get pads now that work with the s14 callipers that optimise the surface area of the big discs as there is some wasted disc with normal s14 pads but still a good upgrade

Top work! I really need to read up on your brake tech over here. Some seriously good stuff!

is your front setup all S12 with S14 calipers and the DB Power M3 disc kit?
