Following on from my post a few days ago.

Today I met the Sales Manager from Compbrake in Preston who manufacture their own calipers for fast road and competition use and provide big brake kits. I wanted to look at the quality before jumping in with both feet. Anyway impressive stuff - have a look what I've bought home!

Dont know where this little fellow came from - Anyone lost a dog?! :P

The callipers are immense - 6 pot light weight aluminium stoppers to replace the weedy green things Skoda stuck on!

Powervane 2 piece discs also a step in the right direction. 330mm diameter and a huge 32mm wide whilst still being lighter than the original VW discs thanks to the aluminium bells.

All fitings supplied and big aluminium carriers. oh and also braided hoses.

All I need now is some good wheather, I keep you all updated. Can't wait to go the Nurburgring now, I'll be able to do 2 laps without waiting half an hour in the car park for my brakes to stop glowing, ticking and going soft

Certainly looks the biz

But, gotta hide this from the wife else that cute little fella is gonna get snatched :(

Holy smoke, that's a good looking set of brakes!

Dare I ask what that little lot set you back?

Steve

P.S. Cute dog

Nice set up. And I'm excited about getting a set of G88's and DS2500 for my car.

I'd say they cost a pretty penny.

They must be mega expensive if they come with their own guard dog! (not a very scary one though):P

They look very impressive though.

Edit: Just been on their website and assuming they were the same/similar price as the Mk 4 golf kit, they are as expensive as they look:eek:

Holy smoke, that's a good looking set of brakes!

I reckon it'll be like a cartoon when he stamps on the brakes - the wheels will stop dead and the bodyshell will shoot forward and carry on going!

how on earth are those gonna fit behind your wheels ?????

they sure do look the dogs doodaas, my mate has a evo 6 tommy mak with ap 6 pots on the front, and that stopping power is truley unbelivable

:orb_lol: Brilliant!

Cheers guys, they will fit behind the standard 17 inch spider alloys - JUST! But with the 18 inch OZ's on mine should be no probs! I was tempted to go for the 350mm discs put then I'd have to keep the 18's on all the time.

Hands off the guard dog people, he is actually a massive scary thing - the brakes just came in a massive barrel!

They are the same as the golf MK4 kit. I've been supplied with various shims and spacers just incase but expecting no problems

Should put ripples in the tarmac

All you need now is a set of 55W brakelights! :lol:

Thats some serious braking right there.

Is it ????????:eek:

YouTube - Mini Cooper Stunts

This'll be you at the end shortly

Is it ????????:eek:

In relative terms I think it is. For what you're getting - the performance they offer, and the build quality and craftmanship. Also separate bell housings

Steve

Is it ????????:eek:

I forked out £1400 for my set up. See my sig for the details.

They look good though for £1049.

Also separate bell housings :cool:Steve

Whats that all about then......the round black bit's to the right I guess :confused:

Oh theres no denying they look well built etc and after steves comment I can see the bargin I'll shut up now

Yeah the centre bells which bolt onto the outer circle of the disk are alloy, so theres a big weight saving to be had.

They are better for getting rid of the heat build up too
