Marty I am getting the brembos. My guy (ViperBob) says that he is able to have them fit with the factory wheels.
I will post the project as this would be a great thing to know for all of us. no one wants to have to get new wheels with the new brakes!!

 

What Brembo you running Tom?

Spacer by any chance? that was another option!

 

Is it GT3 Caliper or Brembo

 

Approx. how many miles w/ normal driving cond. should you get before changing pccb pads? To maximize rotor life.

 

Tom when is that order coming in

 

I have herd numbers like 60K to 100K.

 

To maximize rotor life u think anywhere between 60k & 100k

Never mind pads, I have heard of the rotors not even getting anywhere close to 60k, you must be like Fred Flintstone stopping

 

I'd love to find out what kinda lifespan these guys are getting on these parts at the track. It's a whole different world when you're doing track days.

I did 13 days this year and went thru a front set of pads, a front pair of rotors, and I'll need a new pair of front pads to start the season next year and probably a front pair of rotors by summer, if not sooner.

I'm going to start another thread to talk about my real concerns, because I think there's a huge difference in usage and performance expectations...

Vivids Brembo set up with the promise by Viper bob that he will make them fit. but it aint no direct bolt on project.

 

Bob cant do the work till January and I have new front rotors. They will be done in 3 weeks and then the new brakes will be ordered!!

 

I'll be very interested to see how he gets those big 6-piston momoblocs from Brembo to fit the stock tt (not GT2) wheel. Brembo says under no circumstances are we to machine any metal off the outside of the caliper. I only needed about 0.060 to make mine work (after-market 18's) and the machining was done on the mounting bracket itself to bring the caliper in.

 

It's a spacer or an adaptor for sure, only thing it can be, see the Turbo wheel is tapered (gets narrower closer to spokes)

 

****, I have gone through 2 sets this year, 1 set only seen 3 track days

 

Thank you very much for the info!!

I may call them tomorrow .

 

Great thread...subscribed! I'm considering a minor upgrade soon as well...
