Default Big Brakes part 3 (Huge Brakes)

Hi All,

I was in Europe last week for work which meant I missed out on the nationals To compensate I stopped in to the Hi-Spec factory down in Kent. This was a short train trip out of London where I was staying.

I ended up bying a set of brake calipers for the Cobra that should distort space and time when applied at high speed.

The fronts are their Mega-Monster 6 Piston calipers which are huge. I put a couple of regular soft drink cans in the pic to give you some perspective.



They will be matched up with some 343mm DBA rotors and by my calculations should just squeeze inside my 17" front rims.



The rears are a big 4 piston caliper that will work well with the Ford Territory 328mm rotors. These will probably take a bit more work to fit in and I may have to machine some clearance into the back of my rims.



Cheers
