Default New brakes needed, advice/offers

Hi

I'm going to be needing brakes pretty shortly, I also need them to be able to handle trackday abuse as I'm hoping to get more done this year

I have a V3 type R, I know I could go for the newage brembos but unsure if they'll clear my alloys and I have a spare set of wheels in 16'' aswell so know thered be no chance of them clearing these

Can I have a good setup with this size or have I GOT to go bigger ?

heres the wheels they need to clear



Any help/prices from the brake people appreciated

Thanks






edit: Also been offered these its not the end of the world if I have to punt my 16'' wheels and I suposse I could sell my calipers to get some money back

You'd be best off dropping a PM or an e-mail to Ian Godney.

Not only will he give free advice, but he will also sell you the bits you nedd at decent prices.

If still running 16's then can't go bigger than what you have. The 4 pots are good brakes so go for upgraded discs, pads, fluid and s/s hoses. That should give you a decent set up.

there is also the possibility of fitting a brake stopper - see the traders area for a thread from Tegiwa. Cost 30 quid and is aparently a good upgrade. I also have a 97 type r and mine has one on. I also asked the same question a few months back and got good answers from Ian on a thread in this section.
