Caliper upgrades

Post by benm7 »

Hey guys,

just wondering if there is any point in upgrading calipers, and if so, what are some good brands available? Do Brembo produce any calipers that fit a GPX?

Cheers,

Ben

You get more value for money with pads upgrade then disc, I would change the calipers if I turbo charged the FTO & running massive power like danny & jeff.

Great, thanks for that.

Would you recommend EBC pads over RB74's? Ive been reading a lot of good things about them. Also, would there be a distributor in Aus for EBC pads?

I never use a EBC before, & i know there are few different type too, & i believe the most comment use one is the green stuff.

RB74 are ok, but it produce lots of brake dust, I had endless before RB74, & it brakes better as well as less brake dust.
