FreakyParts 4 pot brake conversions


There's usually plenty of other places you can fit the weights. The tyre fitter will be able to sort them out if they do catch.
 
Just a note i've fitted my 15" rega's et 45 and i needed 10mm wheel spacers and extended studs to clear the calipers. Freakyparts sells the hubcentric spacers for a very good price.
Also there is no issue with wheel weight fitment, there's loads of space with std wheels.
 
Fitted this kit to my dc2 with 98spec 16" rims and needed a 3mm spacer. Hooked them upto Dixcel ceramic discs and they are awesome!
 
Hi,

just wanted to confirm that the calipers WILL or WILL NOT accommodate Hamp brake pads that fit into a standard EK9 caliper...

If so; how much would you charge for JUST a set of front calipers for an EK9 (facelift and without pads)?

Also; can you provide braided brake lines and how much?

Thanks,

Stevie :)
 
Hi stevie,

What exactly are you after? These calipers are completely different to standard EK9 calipers so the pad template is different too.
To fit them, you need calipers, brackets and pads to fit. I can supply all of these if you want them?
 
Just front Midlite calipers mate. just bought grooved discs (same dimensions as standard EK9 discs) and a set of Hamp pads you see... So was uust wondering how much you could do JUST the calipers for. But would have to be WITH pads now... P.M me if needs be dude.

Cheers,

Stevie.

What setup was this then? Are stock EK9 wheels the same fitment as UK DC2 wheels?
 
I dont believe so, as some of the DC2 guys have tried standard 15" and 16" wheels and they wont clear without spacers.
 
it's good that they fit snugly behind the stanard EK9 wheels without spacers. I want a set, but not yet as i've not the readys available :(
 
We can do a 2 piece setup that'll fit behind standard DC2 alloys, but you're looking around an extra ~£300
 
the trouble is thats the price of another set of wheels and tyres, its not cost effective in comparison to other options
 
Other options with the same performance?
Also, if you're buying a set of wheels, you'll have a set to sell ;)
The difference between upgrading the pads and discs and a proper brake upgrade are worlds apart, as people who've already fitted a 4 pot upgrade can testify. The performance increase can easily make up a 30-40bhp difference on track as you can brake so much later and stay out much longer.
I guess it depends what you use the car for. If it's just a road car with the occasional spirited drive then a disc/pad upgrade will be fine. If you're more serious about getting on track one of the first upgrades that should be on the list is brakes along with suspension.
 
hello buddy i am really looking into a set of your breaks the only thing is do you do them to fit a ek4 4x100 cause dont have a 9 :( also do you know if they will fit under 15x6.5 et42 buddy club sf's? and what the total price would be for the caliper, carrier, the freddo pads and the braided lines?

thank you
