WTB: Light good brakes for cortina uprights

[Talkiet]

Front, to replace the decent but HEAVY princess 4 pots on at the moment. Happy to buy new, just keen on suggestions or seeing if anyone had a set of suitable things lying about. Must fit under 13" wheels.

Cheers- N

Hi Neil,
See Les hunter re the Outlaw ones - straight bolt on

[Talkiet]

Well, they do look ideal don't they... I have flicked Les an email...

Thanks for the pointer...

I got outlaws from Les, seem to be really good so far with no issues, much lighter than the old ones, and the vented disc was only a few grams heavier than the old solids

[Talkiet]

Thanks for the confirmation. Not sure I'll even bother getting the vented discs - might just stick with current solid rotors. Not sure I'll even get enough heat into them to justify it.

I have heard that on a really light car it's possible to have issues with the brakes not being able to get warm enough. I have tried to get in touch with Les but no luck so far. Pretty sure I'll go the Outlaw way.

Cheers - N

Never had a problem getting heat into my vented disc set up, pads work ok cold, but really come on after about 2 applications. Good thing about the outlaws is there is plenty of pads available (common wilwood size) and you can split them to take a spacer in the future for vented if needed.

I'm trying to source a set now but Les is busy and hard to get hold of... Hopefully I can talk to him this week. The Outlaws do sound like the way to go. I wouldn't be opposed to new vented discs if I had to but I'd prefer to stay with the current rotors since they are the lightest option.

Here is the weight comparisons

Caliper + Pads

New = 2.3kg

Old = 4.4kg



Disc's

Old (Solid) = 3.83kg

New (vented) = 3.87kg

How did you go about the brake upgrade did you end up going the outlaw option ?
I’m looking into options

[Talkiet]

Les reported that he can't buy the outlaws anymore - The company is too hard to deal with for him. I haven't found a bolt on option yet. The B16s from Palmside might work but I'm unsure if they can be modified to fit the half inch solid discs.

Cheers - N
