4th Official SW20 Big Brake Adapter Kit Group Buy - gauging interest

[cantfindausername]

haha no worries pal.

As I said above, I'm going to leave this open while I'm on holiday and I'll then pick it up again when I get back. I'll get in touch with everyone who's put their name down or shown interest on this thread to confirm their participation in the GB. I'll then get in touch with the machine shop to check the numbers are ok. Once its all confirmed to be going ahead, payment will be required. Once all payments are in the orders will be placed at the various suppliers for all the parts. It normally takes a couple of weeks to get everything in due to the volumes involved and other orders that are infront of ours, but I'll keep everyone up to date anyway.

Should only need 1 or 2 sets (full or partial) before we can go ahead with this.

[tarmac terrorist]

cool once this is up & running how long will it take to be done & what are the options for payment
thanks nick

[cantfindausername]

Hi Nick, it depends on the work load at the machine shop really. Toyota are pretty quick at turning the bolts around. I'd normally say 2-3 weeks from placing the order but its really out of my hands.

Payment options are paypal (either +4% for fee's or as a gift), bank transfer or cheque.

[tarmac terrorist]

cool thanks

I'm very interested, how much do you think increase it the brake performance? When i only oder front or rear, it would be bad for the brake balance or?

Are Track experience with your combination? How about fading?

And a another big question, is it possible to mount larger brake pads?

[cantfindausername]

Hard to say as a figure, but I have a lot more confidence in my brakes in this set up than I ever did before.

The idea is that you either get a full set or a rear only option to go with a different Big Brake front set as there are not many full sets on the market. Front only seems a bit pointless to me as it would upset the balance.

I've not personally taken them on track, but a few people have and they have all fed back good reports.

This is using the stock calipers, so stock size pads only. There are plenty good makes out there though

Good man. Will add your name to the list I have and get the measurements for monkeyra, with that we could have enough to fire up the machines.

The Black Diamonds I put on a couple of years ago have pretty much rotted away and the reason I didn't throw it round the Nurburgring at weekend ..... Thank You Mr Horrocks again for letting me thrash yours instead

[cantfindausername]

Cheers guys, will add your names. Just waiting to hear back from Monkeyra and then I'll close this off and get everyone to reconfirm.

[AussieMR2]

Hi are we still on for this , havent seen any movement for a couple of weeks

Sorry for being impatient

[cantfindausername]

Sorry guys, I've not forgotten about this, just got quite a bit on my plate at the mo between work, home life and the car and juggling it all is proving a little tricky at times. I just want to be able to concentrate on this fully when I get it underway as there is a lot of stuff to arrange and tying it all together is tricky enough in itself.

I aim to be picking this up in the next couple of weeks. I hope thats ok with everyone?

Cheers,
Ant

Let me know when payment is due and an eta on when they'll be ready and i'll forward it on
