Best Feeling BBK?

[eacmen]

Who is the best reseller of the brembo GT kit?

[pMak26]

It's a good question, I'm not actually sure. I suppose I could try and calculate it. The front pistons are 36mm and 40mm and the rears are 28mm and 30mm.
What is the stock split and what are the stock piston sizes?
edit:
MK60-based vehicles, Front: 25mm, Rear: 22mm (post-09/2002) (1:54.1 Stock Bias – 60.6%F 39.4%R)
MK20-based vehicles, Front: 25mm, Rear: 20mm (pre-09/2002) (1.27:1 Stock Brake Bias – 56.0%F 44.0%R)

Don't quote me on this but I did my calculations and I believe my setup is at 63%F now. I have a slightly older setup, but I'm super happy enough with it. It definitely stops and the brake feel is excellent.

I had all 4 corners.

You gents with the Brembo GT kit, front only or four wheel?

The StopTech rings are definitely the weakest part of their Trophy kits. Those calipers are actually pretty nice, but I'd buy different rings after the initial set.

Another vote for the Brembo GT kit.

Not the 996 kit (I previously ran the brembo GT kit and am now running the 996 setup (because FCP), so I can say that with confidence).
The brembos also have much better feel than the Stoptechs (I have them on another car), and the rotors last 2-3x as long as stoptech's.

That would be great. Also curious if you’ve done the brake bias calculation. Trying to get close to CSL/ZCP bias.

This chart is pretty comprehensive and takes into consideration pad size and rotor size to calculate bias, not just piston size. I haven't done the math though, so I have no idea if it's accurate or not.

Has anyone had firsthand experience comparing the Brembo kit with a ST Trophy kit?

I disliked the pedal feel on my 996/boxster setup. However I love the feel of the full M4 brake setup.

What didn't you like? What pads are you running on both setups?

+1 on Brembo's GT kit. I have the F40 version which is 4pot front @ 355x32 and 4 pot rear @ 345x28. The parts are expensive but the feel is 2nd to none. You do get what you pay for. Same exact calipers on my viper and the braking on that is insane with so much tire available. I have an extensive parts # break down if you want it.

Very happy with AP from Essex.

This would be my number 1 choice no question. AP has the racing heritage and that kit is no joke.
