Brakes????

[D300C]

does anyone know of after market brakes to put on? does BREMBO make a kit?

[II kings 9:20]

I spoke with BAER 2 months ago and they are supposed to have a complete kit after SEMA (now). I want to see results before I get all giddy about Brembo. The Acura TL 6spd I tested had Brembos and were no better than stock in C&D last year.

While I have no product for the platform at this time, I'm searching for a test subject for measurements and look-see. If anyone has a contact in the Phoenix area (and no, not the one Baer might be using lol) please let me know. I'd been searching the Magnum guys a bit but if the 300 shares parts then the results will be the same.

I'm in the Phoenix area. Shoot me a PM with your contact info.

Best thing to get for your brakes is performance pads and a solonied brake line. Whole brake kits are really expensive for what you get.

PM sent to you as requested.



And I have no idea what this man is talking about: "and a solonied brake line"

"Whole brake kits are really expensive for what you get." That's certainly a subjective comment. You might feel differently if you had one.

I've had two. Not worth it. Just giving my opinion, don't force yours down mine

You know what a brake line is correct? Upgrading your cable from rubber would help increase brake feal, I'm sure you know that

IDK if they make metal types for this car as of yet, but here is an example for my Z28 from one of our sponsers.

Serious race car owners have used flexible brake hoses of extruded Teflon for decades. They are protected against abrasion and swelling by a sheath of tightly braided stainless steel wire. The resistance to "line swell" both improves the firmness or "feel" of the brake pedal and reduces the time required for effective pressure to reach the brakes and begin to slow the car. The decreased system reaction time reduces stopping distance in emergency situations-- as much as 18 feet at 80 miles per hour.

Earl's HYPERFIRM® brake hoses not only meet all D.O.T., T.U.V., and J.W.A. standards and specifications for flexible brake hoses, they are individually inspected and testing before shipment. Earl's HYPERFIRM® hoses are the only Teflon stainless steel brake hoses to successfully pass all tests at a D.O.T.-contracted test laboratory. Each package contains front and rear lines.

That is the information that site gives

You're not the only one! Perhaps given the clarification, he meant a "solid" brake line?? I dunno - just a guess!

BTW, I'm in Phoenix also, and would be interested...

It's steel, some companies make solonied locks, used the wrong words

But yea, getting a solid brake line does wonders for a whole lot cheaper

Ok, we'll cut you some slack and assume you're from out of town....at the least. It's all good. Curious to the exact kits and applications you had too.

I think what our English challenged friend here is trying to say is that Stainless Steel flex lines are a fine addition to your car. I won't disagree with that. In many cases however this, some zoomy looking rotors and sticky pads are all that folks need. In other cases there are those vehicle owners who look for a bit more; be it size, look, or thermal capacity for harder use applications. Like choosing your car or tires its all about the options.

And I'm certainly not forcing it down anyones throat. I can't, it's not done yet! lol

I'm out, thanks guys. You can PM me if you'd like to talk more on it or stopy by the shop for some touchy-feely time with parts.
