I'm looking to set up a group buy for this big brake conversion

http://www.bigbrakes...sion-p-446.html

the kit for the vx is ally belled...

can peoples please post or pm me if they would be interested for around £655 including P&P, choice of rota and choice of calliper colour...

i though it would be good value compared to the £1500 or so for the A P kit.

anyone?????

Hi, you may have problems with the large diameter discs fitting under 16" wheels but would be ok on standard wheels, best check with http://www.hispecmotorsport.co.uk/

Id recomend contacting hi-spec direct and get a deal on their FULL car set... they do 2pots for the back too you see

[robfenn]

Looks like great value, although i've heard Hi Spec aren't all that. I had their 4 pots on my Clio but they i had only done one trackday and u had them on for only 5 months so i can't make a proper judgement of them.

[l14mha]

i am in contact with high spec direct... just come off the phone to them, they can do a 310mm grooved rota for the front, that will fit under 16" wheels. the same one that they use on the S2. all we need is 5 people interested to get 25% off rrp. this brings the total price down to £655 including vat and P&P. hope that this helps.... whos interested? i did a little research into brake conversions for the rear, there are 350 bhp audi S2 track wepons running standard rear disks........

When develping the 6 pot AP kit for the NSX with Pete Collen at AP directly he said that mid-engined cars should have a revised rear set up too. In fact, he said it was essential. He also explained why AP was better than Hi Spec (naturally!). TBH i think it is slightly misleading to say just because people leave the (conveniently cheaper) standards on the rear that it must be fine. I think it's more to do with being prepared to compromise.

Which pads for £655 are included in the deal? re rears - i was under the impression no-one does a replacement rear straight swap calliper. The hispec one is (apparently....) vapourware atm and has been for 2 years

[l14mha]

mintex 1144's although you can choose what ever pad you want, just pay the extra...

[cheeky_chops]

cool - do you know what size/spec/fit the pads are? Just want to get an idea of price for replacements... Have to work out how to ask the missus...

[SteveA]

Gutted, I've just spent £350 on some EBC turbo discs and mintex pads. If i'd have seen this before I deffo would have signed up. Arse

[l14mha]

i'm 99% sure that the pads are standard rear pads used on the front in this case, in the price they quoted me £61.25 for replacements...

[jasvxt]

Seem to remember the Ferodo DS2500 were £100 for a set, avoid green stuff pads. Rs Jas

And when i bought them, the fitment on the box said they were for an aston martin v8 vantage , so probably a little bit larger than std vx rear pads

Hi Liam

Just for the record can you please state your interest in this group buy?

Thanks
