Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 Brake Upgrades

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Geeeese guys, why anyone would want to replace Porsche 914 brakes with something better is beyond me. 

Think of it this way – if you update stock brakes you could stop so quick the guy behind you smacks you.  Bummer Dude.

Michael, I'm open to any forms of procurement and enjoy burning calories also. Your suggestion could be a win-win.

 

Like the 550M wheels idea...any pics of this production? And how did it drive after?

Bigger brakes need bigger wheels, no?  We had a guy in our group mount a big-brake kit, he bought a used set of 550 Maranello wheels, and split the rim, re-welding it to make the wheel more narrow to fit in the well.  They looked really good.

 

Why are Ferrari 360 brake parts considered 'cheap' - compared to an aftermarket Brembo kit?  Not sure anything "Ferrari" could be considered inexpensive unless procurement involved climbing a fence at a wrecker yard at 3:00AM.....

What's the latest on 308 brake upgrades?

 

I have a buddy locally that has mounted 360 calipers onto his car with custom brackets...feel great and pretty inexpensive.

 

Anything else for less than $90k in parts?
