AZAZEL Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Finally got my new brakes on! Opted for 'new' refurbished Brembo (OE) front calipers in red (stock on the CUP version), with grooved, coated brake discs, also from the CUP, with new OE Brembo pads and pins. Gives the car such a lift aesthetically! And the grooved discs aren't as noisy as I feared, not any noisier than the plain discs, actually. Win.

I do have these two videos though, from inside showing the R.S. Monitor in action (shows various temps, brake pressure, boost, etc.) - can hear the engine a bit, and a little pop at the end of the first one in the tunnel: jpm1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
