Biggest brakes behind allessio 2's

[gary_126]

As above, i know spoke clearance can be an issue. Thinking down the lines of 4pots and custom spacers.

What do people with high spec turbo's run on the front? I use the ATE 16v setup on my small block, and i cant fault them, even on the ring. Id imagine that there on there limit a bit with bigblock engines (yes i know they were designed for big block mk2 astra's etc but that's by 80's standards)

any thoughts?

I have the 4 pot Wilwood Midilites on mine with 280mm disks. Fag paper clearance on the back of the spokes but no wheel spacers needed.

If you start going bigger disks than that you will hit more issues as the spokes curve in towards the edge of the wheel making space tighter.

im using wilwood 4 pots with 304mm discs with alloys bells

yeah, offset of the disks will become more crucial as the size increases, although id imagine 280mm with wilwoods will be more than enough stopping power.

Do both of you run std mc/srevo setup? Or a bias box? (as id rather keep the servo assistance, not keen on bias box pedal feel)

I'm on a standard master cylinder and GSi servo. Also got rear disks and pedal is still better than with the old V6 front brakes I had.

I have 300 or 310's can never remember, with 4pot brembo's and 5mm spacer, could get away with 3mm tbh. Oh but I also have et45 speedlines!

You getting speedlines?

Still got them (the ones i originally had on it in 2006) Just keeping the wheel options open you see;)

Its winter, im bored, so doing some research for future mods, or even a future project if something decent shows up:thumb:
