Fronts: bolt-on

Rears: adapters and need to address 170mm to 190mm step up in hand brake size. Thicker handrake shoes/inserts/DBA rotors. 

 

I had inserts, afaik @Invisible runs DBA rotors specifically designed to address the issue, does not know of anyone running thickened shoes.

 

Do I need to change the front rotors?

 

I remember seeing the DBA rotors a while back

Had THIS SET, inserts and adapters. You won't like the price :D

Imho you can probably machine down a set of old Brembo rotors, reckon that's what they do anyway.

The DBA option will most likely be cheaper lol 

 

I'll keep searching for the part numbers

 

Thanks for your help bro

Yep I am running the DBA rotors that @sobanoodle linked :) 

I think when it comes time to replace them I'm going to go with thicker rear shoes instead 

So with the thicker shoes you can just use normal sti brembo rear rotors? Where would I find the shoes?

Thats what a few US guys have done but that price is pretty farkin crazy. Have also heard of people somehow getting extra pad material bonded to the existing shoes, but that seems to have issues with cracking over time.

That's the plan...

I actually don't know yet...I'll probably get @Subirex Automotive to suss them when I need them, maybe ask him if know's where, cause I'm pretty sure he is running thicker shoes 

 

i got mine from Aussie, i think they were around 200 for the rear bracket and shoes. from memory the shoes were like 14mm thick (i will confirm this when i pull my rear rotors, brakes need done soon). i would probably get the local brake shop to mould a thicker shoes on your current linning.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
