I was quoting that my alcons are much better than spoon or brembo. The setup is almost the same is what is used on V8 supercars and the setup was designed on my car to suit th standard rim offset.

The setup is better due to the larger disc size , both larger diameter and thickness,allowng for better heat dispensation. There is no point upgrading calipers alone as it offers very little improvement in braking ability. To further improve brake feel and performance the setup includes braided lines, and i use Endless fluid.

Anyways if anyone is interested the full setup is for sale (calipers, rotors, hats, lines) and has under 7000kms on it, drop me a PM all offers over $2100 will be considered.

Are you the biggest F**king tool ever? how are they bling when you cant see them? how can you even comment on this when you've never been over 100km/h or to the track? Daewoo brakes would be more than adequate for your driving needs so probably best to stick to other threads where you can pick on the few ppl stupider than you...

btw I saw you in Glen waverly the other day...NICE HAIRCUT!!! Is your mum still parting your hair for you? :wave:

^ ay man is that necessary ? no need 2 be a dick!


i advice that do braided lines and pads first, if ur still not happy do disks, slotted rotors if u really want some bling, but if ur full on tracking there not that good as u want as much surface area as possible on ur brakes.. as i learnt on my dads race car went from standard to slotted back to standard...

so basicly just do braided lines, good pads, disks...

I have the full setup in mine and let me explain why I wanna to change it

Jdm Brembo give you better bite coz you are running 4 pot calipers not a big single pot.....brake pressure is more even and you won't get brake lockup as easy compare to AUDM Caliper which is same as S2K

Also 2nd advantage is the setup give you another 30mm outer offset in total therefore ur car handle better on track.....but if you only do front then you may affect ur rear coz they are not balance....
of coz you cannot use the full protential on normal driving but it still can save you when something happen on the road.....that happen to me.....

If you think the JDM upgrade cost too much you can just get the spoon mono block for the AUDM......just order the S2k setup as its basically the same on our car.......that save you to buy all the knuckles, hubs LCA and Sways......

Alcon is well known brand for racing and same as Brembo......Spoon is just a kit compare to their history......you cannot compare them unless you have the same level of caliper......the jdm is just a basic version for street/occation track........unless you run the race version of it then you can't put it together with Alcon/AP Racing and others......Spoon is just not really design for hard race condition.....do you see any race car using spoon caliper in F1/ Super GT?? Also you need to compare the size of the piston of the caliper.....they design for a reason.....do some research for it b4 post up stupid answers.....I dun mean I know a lot as I am still learning about all this....if you say is it worth to do the jdm upgrade then its really depends on what you think.....some one can pay up to 3.5k for it years ago or some one dun even think it worth 2k.....but for me my brake distance become shorter and the brake force is stronger......I have more confidence to brake later and the car is more stable......even I only run oem pads on my last track days it still hang on for 5 hotlaps without problem.....think if your AUDM brake setup can do the same?.....I dun think so......if any of you have questions about the jdm upgrade....pm me as I just done mine......I think its the best mod I've ever done to my car.....just my 2 cents......

Can some one compare the JDM Brembos with the Spoon upgrade?? Because im pretty sure i was told that the Spoon upgrade is better than the JDM Brembo set up

Their piston are pretty much same size but spoon calipers are monoblock which means the caliper itself is better then brembo coz its not monoblock design......but if you use good pads and rotor....it won't be much different for us.......

At least for me.....I can't tell coz we are not under extreme race condition and my skill is still not good enough to tell....but for ppl who dun need the jdm offset and can't be bother to source all those jdm parts......spoon monoblock is the best upgrade since its all bolt on......all you need is a set of rims with right offset to clear the calipers.....but dun forget to order the blacket for s2k coz the AUDM front brake setup is same as s2k......

why do people automaticaly assume u have to change all on a aussie spec dc5 to make japy brembos fit. Looking at them closely it is quite logical that replacing the stub axle alone will make it work. Or even custom made hub with extended studs? what u guys think?

I have longer studs with my spacers now. I thought the clearance issue wasn't the wheels but the strut assembly.

i actually have the whole spare rotors and knuckle of my aussie r and and looks like with a little modification to your stub axle u can make em fit quite easily cos everything else lines up.

the differance is about 5mm. Which means your aussie rotors have to come up 5mm to make the brembo work. I dont see a problem with custom stubs being putt on to make it work.

is there ap1 brembos??? cause they would fit straight on right??
DC5 have ap1 stock brake in australia

jdm brembo fiting solved. easiests way is to get a 2 piece rotor and get a custom hat made up. getting mine done this week, $250 per hat n its a straight bolt on after that. EASY
