BRAKES

The brakes were completely upgraded and renewed. Larger rotors and calipers combined with a larger bore master cylinder resulted in dramatically improved braking performance and a firm pedal with a great "feel".

FRONT BRAKES

  • Rotors and calipers from a 7 series car were installed.
  • These calipers use larger pistons and pads and provide 13% more braking effort than the original set-up.
  • The rotors were painted with high temperature paint to minimize corrosion and for appearance.
  • The calipers were rebuilt and new Porterfield R4S carbon metallic pads were installed. These are a low dust street performance pad.

  • New stainless braided brake hose were installed
  • REAR BRAKES

  • Larger rotors and calipers from a 5 series car were installed. These were sized with the upgraded fronts to provide the same brake balance as the original system.
  • The calipers were rebuilt and Metalmaster semi-metallic pads were installed.
  • New stainless braided brake hoses were also been installed.
  • BRAKE PADS

  • Not only are the rotors and calipers larger but the pads are too. Here's a comparison of the rear pads.
  • Semi-metallic pads were used throughout.
  • MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER

  • A new master cylinder from a 7 series car was installed. The larger bore of this cylinder compensated for the larger caliper pistons and provided the proper pedal depression and firmness.
  • BRAKE SERVO SYSTEM

  • The brake pressure switch on the brake accumulator ("bomb") is new.
  • The high pressure hose is new.
  • A new reservoir filter was installed.
  • Redline Hi Temp ATF was used.
