big brakes

[romtrt]

Mga Sir worth it kaya upgrade yung front brakes to bigger one? My car is 7g Galant SS stock engine lang. Plan ko sana upgrade front brakes using vr4 dual piston na brakes. Feeling ko kasi medyo bitin brakes ko for this mid sized sedan lalo na sa high speed though wala naman problem I just want more braking power. Worth it kaya or just stay with my stock brakes? Thanks!

stock engine = stock brakes. save up for some other mods nalang imo.

Two piston caliper cost a buck. Go the cheapest... change your rotor into slotted(ex. DBA rotor, Power slot plus system, brembo) and use Hawk HPS(high performance street) or Satisfied GranSport GS6 Carbon Ceramic brake pads.

Thanks for the replies. Actually the twinpot will cost 4.5k surplus plus pads and change to bigger hydrovac. I guess stock na nga lang ako medyo magastos din yun. hehe Thanks po!

[hungryalien]

or just upgrade the pads pwede rin.

4 wheel disk brake ang vr4 diba?
turbohin nalang yan

why not look into the upgrade of the brake tubes from the normal ones to steel braided covered ones.

I have lots of readings that these also improved the braking power of the vehicle. And is not that expensive.

go with speedyfix's advice. big brakes are installed to compensate for a tuned engine/ bigger engine swap. unless you have tons of money to burn, then go ahead with the project.

pasingit, ung civic ko kinabitan ko ng 17" wheels bigla humina ang preno, me connection ba un?

[wildthing]

IMO possibleng mas mabigat na ang bago mong gulong OR mas malaki ang outside diameter nito than the original... kaya parang "bumagal" ang breaking power nito.

AFAIK nag-iiba kasi ang force ng pagpreno (physics) pagnakarun ng ganyang changes.

if I were you, just bleed the old brake fluid and replace it with a better one. synthetic DOT 4 or DOT 5 brake fluid should be the best. also, change your Brake Lines, go w/ Stainless Steel Braided lines (Goodridge, Earls, etc..) then replace the pads and rotors. thats it!

also, in most cases.. (aside from worn out pads & rotors) pag feel niyo na mahina ang preno, make sure that theres no air on the brake system. and make sure that the brake lines are good and is not cracked. kasi pag may hangin sa brake system and pag worn out na ang lines, your brakes will feel really soft & weak.

yes, hihina talaga ang braking power ng kotse mo since that your 17's are putting more rotational mass to the driveline (hubs, brakes.. etc). bigger wheels.. means lesser stoping power. also, since that you have 17's.. you might wanna check your wheel bearings after a certain amount of miles. kasi mabilis din mag wear out ang wheel bearings, lalo na pag malaki ang rims.


aite, peace.

dapat bang lakihan ko na rin ung rotor disc??


pa O.T. po.
mukang sira na nga ung sa rear bearing ko, prang me aga-as-as. balik ko na lang pala ulit sa 15" mura pa gulong

well, di naman kailangan palitan ang Brake Rotors.. just upgrade to better Brake Pads and Stainless Steel Braided brake lines.

pero if I were you, just slap on those 15 inchers and call it a day! at tama ka, mas mura pa gulong! at mas magaan pa! hehehe..

How do stainless steel braided brake lines improve stopping?

How do stainless steel braided brake lines improve stopping?

SS Braided brake lines are much stiffer and does not expand as much as the stock brake lines (since the lines are under high fluid pressure, while applying the brakes) thats why the stock rubber brake lines crack.. specially when its worn out over time. therefore SS Braided brake lines improves Braking response and it gives the brake pedal a much firmer feel.

also, mas matibay ang SS braided brake lines.. so if you run over a debris (or any sharp objects) hindi madaling mapuputol ang SS brake lines.

Id rather have blown tires.. than having no brake response AT ALL!!


aite, peace.

they improve brake feel more than anything else. more responsive and firmer pedal.

[EGcoolmhan]

sir, buhayin ko lang po ito, how much po ba yung Stainless Steel braided brake lines para sa EG ko (yung estimated prize lang po).gusto ko improved mga brakes ko lagi kasi ako long distance. sir speedy pasyal ako minsan sa shop mo pagawa ko ito!

[speedyfix]

SS brake lines are between 8-9k for the set if 4 uninstalled pa and no brake fluid yet.
