New brake caliper designs available now + Kit List

[stephendell]

We have been working on an exciting new range of suspension and brake kits.

As a result a new caliper design is now available. Any exisiting GTA / A610 or forthcoming brake kits will be available with this new caliper design.















Any colour combination (except black/black) available from the usual range.

Brake kits for A110 / A310 / R5 Turbo also coming soon.

Details of the new suspension kits will be available shortly. They are currently in production.

They look nice - bu tthe million dollar question is - how many million £'s

Caliper price is unaffected. From £150 each + VAT

.
Hopefully members will be a little more discerning than just looks and colour; so more importantly what are the piston area choices, and how do they compare to previous kits, and also to OE?

Cheers ,

What's the new suspension then ? who what where when ?

I still like the 406 v6 couple calipers as an option. The spec of these new ones would be nice to compare etc

There is a set of calipers from a 406 v6 on pistonheads at £200

So for £360 I can get a set that will bolt on straight onto my A610? No other extras?

P.S. I am not interested in the supa dupa discs. A610 discs are big enough and I already have a new set to fit.

but not thick enough and they'll warp at the first sign of spirited driving with upated calipers and pads

They are used on the worlds fastest production car around the Nurburgring and the worlds fastest street legal dragster, so probably good enough for the GTA and I guess slightly better than OE. Alternatively you could save £100 or so and use some secondhand stuff off an old Peugeot

Basically they are the same as before just prettier, we recommend the D (4 x 38.6mm) piston option for GTA.

Thanks Stephen, good info. Is that the same piston area front and rear on this setup as recommendation?

Yes but as Andy says you'll need high quality disks not cheap pattern ones and if you use serious pads in anger you'll cook the disks pretty quickly. But for street and very occasional track use they will be fine.

Yes but ideally we recommend an adjustable brake bias valve (hidden from the MOT inspector of course). Alternatively smaller pistons on the rear and/or up to 1 grade softer compound on rear pads if available in your choice of pads.

A lot of this is personal preference depending on use as for example pad choice spinters and hillclimbers will need better bite from cold than racers.

Within reason with these kits, the more you spend, the quicker you'll stop.

Actually you will also need £100 or so of brackets, a £10 or so fitting kit and some new pads.
