Default Re: Shockworks 6 pot alloy calliper upgrade

Just had a delivery to my office.

All work suspended for last hour while I opened up the shockworks kit boxes-feeling like a kid at Christmas again.

Seriously impressive gear- I do not know which is more impressive -the rotors with beautifully crafted cooling vane 34 mm thick discs with such nice centre alloy hats...or the massive 6 piston calipers.

These calipers have massive pads- 190 mm in length, compared to the Brembo 6 piston Brembos in FPV that use pads 164.8 mm in length.

A thought kept moving through my mind that I have sorta gone over the top- but I did suffer bad brake fade with the Brembo 4 pistons and at 45,000 km the OEM rotors are lipped badly and are almost throw away.

Serious engineering right here-congrats Brett on your kit- cannot wait now to get it all installed.
