NightSpirit Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Went over to HiSpec today in Dartford to see what they could offer in the way of brake discs, they suggested a bell and rotor setup to save weight and improve heat discipation on the track...time to bash the bank card.While I was there, I met Mr Calnan from uksc on his way to work, a quick chat, some photos and some manly but gentle hugs later he was off.

NightSpirit Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 Si would have stayed longer but some tool in a GTsT and a GTO arrived and we got thrown off the carpark Incidentally, I met a GTsT on the way home, white one. I pwned him a lot. Quote

59bhp Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 hmm do you know if could make a brake disc up to a custom spec? Quote
GeeUK Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 thats hat theyv done for our man NightspiritWhat calipers are used? Quote
SiCaln Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 think Nightspirit has 4 pot Outlaw callipers, but htey make their own with 4 pot and 6pot Quote
NightSpirit Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Hi all,59bhp HiSpec have a lot of kits on the shelf that could be used and they make everything in house. I went for 275mm discs as I know that will fit behind the 15s and require no new bracket for the calipers. I went for bell and rotor because it's lighter, gives you more choice and is cheaper in the long run. I think a standard monster 4 pot kit will set you back around £700. If you ask them for the same bell they're making for me it should save you some money as I've paid for the machine work. Then you just need to select a rotor.Give them a call and say Mark who's having the above built sent you...might help them speed up any process.I have Outlaw 4 pots on the car, Outlaw are an American offshoot of Wilwood and pretty good. You'd never need more than 4 pots on a EP, 6 pots would be just for show and the car would be hopelessly over-braked. Quote
StarletRick Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 how much are they charging for the bell and disc setup? im thinking about going down this road with the twinpots to save me having to space the shit out of the hubs.... Quote
