Brembo

[superstar151082]

Hi folks.....

Did a quick searchbut couldn't find anything......

I have a 52 plate lc with those shite multi spoke wheels on!!!Well i hate them so i have ordered a set of OZ Galileo 3's from my local pro-tyre... Not cheap!!!
The thing is the calipers on a lc look naff so i thought i would splash a bit of paint over them... They still look crap so heres the question, will lcr brembos go straight onto a lc if you change the discs to match???

Hope someone here can help me solve this!!!

Does Bill @ Badger 5 still do the kits for this conversion?

Demon Tweaks to a brembo upgrade kit for Leon Cupras.
Brembo four pots with 323mm (I think).

H-man did it on his LC...worked fine.

 

[RobM]

Oh... and what size OZ's have you just bought? You'll need 18's at least to fit over the Brembos and even then, you might need some hefty spacers to make them clear the calliper.

H-man did it on his LC...worked fine. Needed 25mm spacers though to clear calipers with his 17" OZ sports. Nice wide track!! Handles a treat and looks mean!

Twice?

Hey, I'm at work! I made a typing error and I forgot to add something!

19's with 235/35 tyres. lets hope they wont rub the arches

 

[superstar151082]

just been on bill's web page. £945 for the full kit! the wheels, tyres and breaks will be worth more than the car!!!

 

[RobM]

It's a lot of money, but it's a lot of brake too. If you look at any of the other aftermarket options you'll see it's actually a good price.

 

[superstar151082]

Your right just been on demon tweeks. they want £1300. i ain't paying that much!!

 

[RobM]

Exactly. And other brands, such as AP, will be a similar price.

You could probably source the parts yourself cheaper second hand if you really want to go down this route. eBay, the For Sale forum here and various other sources will no doubt bring up the parts over time. Then you just need to get them checked out and fitted properly. If you can find a list of every part needed it might be worth investigating.

i'll give it ago!

do these have any pedigree or proven track record?
some billet calipers have spread over time, flexing and fatigued.
