All I can say is they work Fantanstic !!

STORMCAT · Jul 8, 2010

Real Happy with the Set Up !!

Apollo · Jul 8, 2010

Wow, incredible work. Is there a downside to using the same size rotors front and rear?

STORMCAT · Jul 8, 2010

Thanks Terry!! no down side or performance issues.. And I like that I can rotate the rotors front to rear to even out the wear.. This is what you need to slow down the new TT set up..:biggrin

Great job! Can I buy them off you now? :biggrin

Do you have an e-brake?

STORMCAT · Jul 8, 2010

I am finishing up the e-brake bracket. I could let that stop me from enjoying the car...

Specracer · Jul 8, 2010

You are going to use the OEM "caliper" and a traditional friction material? And there is no contamination considerations? Or using the assumption / plan there will not be any movement, and they will just touch?

Project is very cool, I was just curious, as here in MA they actually check for the e-brake for inspection (well maybe not closely when the GT is in the bay.....)

Man Stormcat, clairvoyant too, you are truly talented! :biggrin I am saving my pennies starting now - well as soon as I figure out how to pay for the TT. :rofl A smarter man probably would have started with the brakes... :eek

I can speak from experience that the ZR1 Carbon brakes will stop the FGT from 250 to normal speed with no issues :biggrin

This looks great Brian! I know you will be super happy with this setup! I know Jason shipped my parts off to be modified for my yellow car to mount the calipers so having a plug and play option like this sounds fantastic!

good job! :cheers

And here I thought you were just good for interior parts. Want to try your hand at neurosurgery? Good job buddy, I'm impressed. You accomplished this faster than geting the bottleholders done. Ha, Ha.
