302mm carriers :)

**BlackBeast** · Monday 2nd January 2006, 16:03

As some of you may know i was going to try and get some Porsche 996 GT2 callipers but ive put them on the back burners for now due to cost and finding the right people to make custom parts for them to fit, i may still do so, but not for a long while.

Instead, ive gone and bought a set of 302mm carriers ready for my brake overhaul, at the same time i will be fitting some Goodridge stainless steel brake hoses, painting the calipers and carriers red, getting some tidy racing pads (Pagid most likely), im not sure on which discs to get yet.

At the same time I will be doing the rear brakes also with the Goodridge hoses and caliper painting.

Personally I think you'd be better off getting a set of Ferodo DS2500 pads and plain Zimmerman 302 disks.

If your doing it properly then youd need to get brackets and bells made from scratch and also the end of the brake hose to fit the brembo caliper. With this setup you use GT2 rotors and pads.

Please forgive my ignorance could u elaborate more on bells? (not sure if im thinkin of the right part!)
(p.r there is a perfectly good reason for me askin)

do you need to fit different flexi hoses?

Hi,

You do need new front brake hoses (approx. 1 inch longer).
We stock them in braided in either a Kit (to do all 4 corners) or for the financially challenged just as a front pair.

P.S. We also have all of the other brake kit you need: 302 mm Hangers, Ferodo Pads, Brembo Discs, EBC Pads, EBC 'Turbo Groove' Discs, DOT5.1 Brake Fluid etc, etc.
