Have you missed the Brembo badge on your brakes? Dude you already have brembos!
It's a Type R were talkin bout here!

If you've got an AusDM DC5 forget about Brembo, go for the Spoon. If you want the Brembo, you have to change the sway bar, Lower control arm and rotor too.

cost to spoon caliper is an arm and a leg

1. I don't see where it says he has a Type R in the first post
2. AUDM DC5R doesn't come with brembos

Before upgrading your calipers try changing your pads, lines, and fluid. SS lines made a big difference for me, feels awesome!

My mate just bought a set for Aus$1800 including adpoters

If u take ur car to the track, spoon and brembos are the way to go. Consider Project Mu brakes too i have seen them done on DC5. But if u dont take ur car to the track then brembos are a just wank factor because the stock brakes can do the same job. If u want a more agressive bite and feel then i go for braided lines, upgraded pads, slotted rotors and a master cylinder brace.

The standard braking is quite poor under load. It's a single pot caliper. The cheapest way is to upgrade the pads & better brake fluid see if that will be a little better than stock.

What are you trying to compare the brakes against?

Ooops my bad!

Brembooooooooo!!

[wlee2]

the dc5R in aus still dun come with brembo =P.. and he seems to have changed his car =P i only see dc5 under his avatar, i seen plenty of brake shops that claim to sell brembo but i dont know a heap of alot about the brakes itself. the question you goto ask yourself is do you need that much stopping power? because unless u drive on the track or a nutter on the streets =P stock brakes are pretty good =P.. but i think someone said upgrade pads. that might do the trick =P..

changing to project my pads and AEM slotted rotors has made a considerable difference for me.

just get braided lines and brake fluid first, and see if it is sufficient. I didn't find the stock pads to be too bad.

The endless clips are awesome ! I used go on track with this DC5 with Endless clip, i was trying to learn the break point from him, yet i found the DC5 stopped and drove away the corner, and i was still braking. That made me stood up on my brake to stop the car.. that was scary... i found out straight away that how good the Endless clips and disc are. :thumbsup:

i like the spoon clips on his car.. very good :thumbsup: the speed dropped really quick to 50 from 140. with shit pads.

[edw-R]

You don't like the SPOON on your car?Of course. I like my spoon one. I also love endless 6 piston caplier. But it can't fit my 15" rim when i go to track.

By the way I have just cracked 61sec at QR... best time is now 60.86...hope to be faster next year:wave:

Well... if 6 pot is too big you can try the 4 pot then (j/k)
my opinion is with dc2r since they are about 100kg lighter than dc5r... with 4 pot like what you have got should be more than enough.... dc5r on the other hand is over weight....

Yeah man, i am looking forward to see if you can do under 60s ! :wave:
