GPX/GPvR or bigger brakes

Post by Daniel2019 »

Wanting to upgrade the GR's brakes. Looking mostly for front two but can do a set also.

Was looking towards a new set of GPX/GPvR ones but if there's a bigger set like the wilwood upgrade kit or something going cheap then let me know ;)

Need both discs and calipers. (Master is the same correct?)
I fix cars.

Go GTO brakes..

And you can buy a bracket on-line to fit. You just need bigger disc. I have GTO brakes in my garage, and the adapter.. :)

Will eventually put on the Evo
I just had to add it ......

the factory twin pots will be the cheapest option.

I have a decent set of front rotors, used, but the meat on them is good, also pads to suit with a tonne of meat.
Don't have the calipers however.

Rear rotors/ calipers are same across the board, so moot endeavor doing those, unless you're going bigger, but then moot again.

What will $800 get me :(D):

I didn't know the rears were the exact same... but I'd like to replace them anyway, even if it is just with the same set.

@Dan how much are you looking for them?

@Matt I'll wait till Shane-o comes through :lol:

Hmmm... may put off on this for a little while and get those then. Wouldnt the GPX upgrade cost me about 500 anyway for discs and calipers?

Also, is that a direct upgrade and would I need to upgrade anything else?

Just put a Caliper Rebuild Kit through the rears, easy enough to DIY and much cheaper than complete 2nd hand units that you'd have to do the same to anyway.
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

Lawso will be keeping his brembos to go on his next FTO. Along with the muffler from his first one, although he now has rims to fit over the brembos :lol:

Don't think that the Brembos will help Lawso much. :lol:

Just wait around till someone has a set of GPX brakes mate, they will set you back screw all compared to unnecessary brembos.
If your dead set on brembos rinii has a set of evo 6 brembos for 650

If you like the look of the rotors and pads then you can have them, they're sitting in my garage taking up space.

I have a brand new set of factory spec rear rotors, for those I would want money. As Fraz said, put a rebuild kit through the caliper.
If your rear rotors are rooted you can buy mine, though typically they don't often take much of a beating. (Unless you're Lawso.)

EDIT: the fronts have surface rust from being used, and sitting around. wire brush on the hats with a bit of paint, whack them on and take them round the block, they'd look brand new.

EBC pads. Bigger brakes adds more weight but better if choose to add big power to the car.

Will take the fronts in that case. How much are you looking for for the rears? It would be nice to replace the whole set just to have peace of mind and not have to worry about it.

Can pickup at your convenience.

Now I just need a set of front GPX calipers :cheers:

I'd be looking for $200 for the rears, they cost me $240.
Brand new in box, unopened.

It's possible I'd have some brand new rear pads too, also unopened, I could throw those in to sweeten the deal... (would have to check on that, I could have swapped those on ours.

Nah, that's alright mate I've got a set of EBC reds ready to go from the group buy.

Will think about the rears and get back to you but will definitely take the fronts. Thank you sir.

You still have those ebc reds? I love them on mine :) You'll notice a big difference if you are coming from stock pads.
