R50/53 Caliper spacing with rim concern.....
Caliper spacing with rim concern.....
So my rpFAKE1's clear r56 calipers but just barely.they are 15x8.they are So close you cant run balancing weights on that part of the rim or they interfere with the caliper . My concern is heat. With the caliper being so close to the rim do you think it would be an issue for daily driven occasional spirited driven hopeful track if it's all ready ???
I think in this instance running a drilled and slotted rotor would actually be beneficial. What would be the best pad compound for the car with my driving ,carbon fiber , semi metallic or ceramic ? I know the pros n cons of a drilled and slotted rotor also and plan on using brand I've used in the past with great luck. Are their any larger rear brake upgrades available or mod the r53 fronts onto the rear and run r56s upfront ? I know the back dont do much but if I had the r56 fronts helping more it would be nice to have the rears help the front be more efficient...
now with all my mods and the power my car has, its brakes are no question its weak point now. And I feel if i were to push it as it is now, these brakes would hold up for 5min on the track before becoming useless . No,i don't have any issues at all with my current stock brakes either . They just are no longer up to par.
