Now, not that I have the $$$$ to dump into a big brake kit, especially 'cause I just dumped $$$$ into a streetported motor, but I'm curious: Is there any company that makes a big brake kit for the FC?

yes, re amemiya does one based on the brembo monoblocks and k2rd has a wilwood setup. I am working on a custom on right now actually if you are interested, the pricing should be more than competitive with any other kit out there.

I have an Hyper-Rev mag right now, and I see -RE has two kits, a brembo and a SS kit, Endless has one, and so does Feed. I don't know Japanese so don't ask what it says for price and whatnot. I found this in vol 54 #3 on page 132.



I'm also interested in your kit, robot...

Corksport.com sells big brake kits too. They are spendy though.

I'll let you guys know, i have just sent my CAD drawings from the carriers over to my machinist so we should see some stuff on the car in about a month or so. Its got 13" rotors in the front so i hope you have at least 17s.

Lol, will 13" rotors even fit with 17's? Also:



phinsup: The K2RD kit is just front brakes, right?



djgiantrobot: Is your kit front and rear, or just front?



Keep up the good work.

the problem with the big brakes is that you run out of master cylinder, the pedal gets really soft and mushy, we're working on a bigger one. we have the 12.5 6 piston kit fits under a 16" wheel, but i'm not sure if a stock 16" will fit

What about if you upgrade to the 929 master cylinder?
