that caliper ^^^ kinda looks like cast iron, but it's hard to tell with the pic

i think ipd sells a porche big brake upgrade kit that is completely bolt on

seems like that would be much easier that piecing together a big break kit

and cheaper

ipd big brake

FCPGroton sells a big break kit as well for a lot cheaper than IPD

If anyone has the braket , and doesnt mind being with out it for a week .

I have no problem getting new ones machiened to do this.

Again its kind of a waste since you can go with the Porsche kit or the Wildwood kit for cheaper and have more braking surface

but hey what ever B)

Hey fellas, new to the forum here, very interested in doing a big brake set up on my 850-R, could I get some links to the Wilwood set up I've seen the Porsche set up and it seems cheap enough, well in the US LOL, Porsche bits here in Oz would rip you a new A-hole, maybe 2 :o .

Yep Australia, Porsche parts here are as expensive as they are rare, in the US you guys have them by the bucket load in comparison hence your better pricing.

get the kit from IPD since the guys I delt with threw someone on here were a bit retarded

well....the only REAL problem we're looking at with bbk's are the caliper brackets no? And of course a caliper that'll accept a 28mm rotor. What about using a cheaper caliper setup? On t-bricks they've used old school RX-7 calipers...dual piston and pretty light. Also, 240's have dual piston calipers as opposed to the 850's single piston front setup. What about just using the s/vR's rotor and getting a bracket made to fit with the older calipers???

simpley for what your paying for this kit the IPD kit is cheaper

and the kit I am commign out with WW will even be cheaper then that .

and yes my next project is to get brakets made to fit the R calipers.

and the R 330m rotor is 32mm finding a caliper to fit the 28mm rotor is easy I have them on my car right now
