Do you guys/gals think its really worth the price ($2300)? Does anybody on AZ have this setup? If so, how is it?

 

Someone has it. But I forgot his name.

 

I think Zasker1 has it.

 

shoot go7fatherg7 a pm, i've met him personally in several tsx meets. he has these brembo front brakes.

 

I do have these brakes, and they realy are amazing, however I am due for a pad replacement and after talking to the only GT dealer in the US here is what I found:

Pads = $245
New Rings = $329 pr Ring
Mounting Bolts = $85 pr Rotor


Cost of my upcomming Brake Job= $1073


I was totaly shocked after talking to Brembo about the cost of parts. What I cannot decide is if I should just do pads, or replace the rings as well. You cannot turn slotted rings.

 

Thanks for that info about the rotors!

 

One other item to note is that Brembo does not recomend x-drilled rotors for hoter climates as they will not last as long as slotted.

 

Dang, I think I'll just paint my calipers now.

 

holy mutha, that's one expensive BJ, hope it's worth it....

 

HAhahaa.......

but damn.. that's $$!!

 

Red paint-$1
Brembo Stickers-Free from local RPM store. Just flirt with the chic behind counter and ask for stickers! Check!

Damn! I can honestly say that Brembos will never be on my car while I own it!

Wow! Thats like Hondata , highflow cat, and header every brake job!

 

for that price you could almost get the spoon calipers and just use them with upgraded rotors.

 

please dont do red paint with brembo stickers

 

Remember, most slotted/x-drilled rotor's cannot be turned thus even if I had just 300 upgraded rotors, I would still be replacing them.
Basicly they are twice the price, but man they stop and never fade.

 

Here's a closeup of the front:


Here's a pic of both the front and rears:

 

is that your car

 

Kevin, can you please spell that out for me? I just want to make sure I understand what you're trying to say.

 

Looks like Comptech's TSX testbed.

All you're going to get with Brembo is the name. If you want a truly kickass aftermarket BBK, go to Stoptech. It's $600 cheaper too.

That said, who here actually needs a BBK? I don't think that even the Realtime cars use aftermarket calipers.

 

For the street, BBK's are mostly eye candy.

Realtime definitely does use some serious equipment for slowing down though. I don't have a really clear shot but they are using race-spec brembos all around:

 

No, 3Pedal has G Games and a different brake setup.

 

No it's not my car

Its the Comptech TSX that was at an NSX meet at my Acura dealership up in NorCal...sorry for not clearing that up and also for the lte response...

 

EvilJohn has brembos but he didn't buy it off comptech

 

Well there go any thoughts I was having about getting BBK's.
Just some quick math with the prices you stated (if that's $245 for F/R pads if not I don't even want to know how much pads are) $1901.

Think I'll just order a set of these:

Just slightly better than CJam's paint and stickers idea.

 

That is Front Pads only. Remember this would be similar in price to any other big brake kit such as the rotas or wilward.

 

that ABP is hot! but the BBK so ain't worth ~$2,300 unless you're constantly tracking the TSX, like everyday, lol.

you know how much other mods can be had for that amount of dollars? you can still stop on a dime with much less expensive rotors and pads

 

Sure you can machine them...but it does ruin the bits on the brake lathes....if I had a lathe I would do it for people, but I would charge a little extra for tooling.

In all honesty, unless you are getting a shimmy in the wheel, I would not worry about it.

 

Has anyone really installed those? I saw them on ebay and even contacted the supplier. I am tempted but. Wouldn't that be totally lame?
