If you have $3000 to spend, call brembo.

$3000 is cheap... I'm sure he can afford them if he has what he claims...

Yeah 8 Piston Front Calipers And Single Rear Calipers.... I Can See It Now.... Kid With The Dumbass Idea Not To Balance The Braking System Careens Off A Mountainside While Attempting To Drift, Applying Brakes And Facing Some Major Understeer And Panicing!

Like Every Major Racing Team, Car Tuner, Etc. When You Do Brake You Have To Have Proper Balance Or You Will Be Doing More Harm Than Good.

Re: 8 piston brakes needed

They had an article on lasts months boost mag on how kids are screwwing up the braking balance of the car. This can lead to serious consiquences.
When I bought the ZX aluminum calipers, I bought both front and rear, and will also get the TT MC, that way, I will keep it as close to balanced as possible, even if not like stock intended. Get some ZX brakes and brembo rotors, instead of getting 8pot front and stock rear and then go over the cliff like musicsurf said.
We ain't idiots, most of us like Jspec, music, logik (well when he ain't being a bad ass), logikal (what are these two brothers or ???), and many more have tons of info to give. Listen before you do something you will regrett.
But it's your ass, so you decide.
By the way, I didn't think braking helps drifting, I thought it was throwing the car to the side and holding the SLIDE. I know they play some role but I don't think it isn't significant in the drift, just helps maybe avoid the wall or other cars.

I also like it how he has exactly 75 more HP with the nitrous and exactly 75 more lb-ft of torque with the nitrous....

Re: 8 piston brakes needed

braking helps to induce the drift... its called a brake drift, but applying the right ammount of braking into a corner you transfer the weight to the front and can get the back end to swing out easier...

you dont need 8 pot brakes to do this.

Re: 8 piston brakes needed

Never tried drifting, nice to know dekand, unlike most of you driving your little babies, mine is in the garage and will be ther for a minute. Oh, I did do a couple of donughts in my T-ram, but when I tried to do some serious fish tailing, I almost wrecked it, so much for my drifting career.
