    All comes down to cost versus price of multiple rebuilds. Porsche brakes are amazing. Moreso than the ZHP brakes. However I though there was an upgrade for the Performance Calipers. Does that make sense over going with Wilwoods or Stoptechs?

    I ran the wilwood for more then 5 years using the 4 pot system. Then went to the 6 pot for about 2 and then sold the car. The car was a Nissan maxima.

    Brackets were custom.

    There is an upgrade for the Performance Calipers Justin but at $450 + shipping from Turner motorsports.





    I don't think BP is interested in going this route as he's completely frustrated with what he had.

    But if it is less than the cost of the Wilwoods, than there's nothing to lose.

    Food coma kicked in once BP got comfortable sitting in my chair... He worked hard getting his DINAN throttle body installed and was a great help when I installed mine today so I figured I'd let hime sleep a little

    Justin,
    I am done with these calipers. The upgrades I had on the calipers were equivalent to what Turner sells. I've rebuilt them twice for the same issue and am not going to spend another dime on these calipers. They had their chance.

    What I'm really after is rock hard pedal feel, which I had on my E30 with Wilwood calipers. I'll never forget the amazing pedal feel of those calipers, so I'm really after Wilwoods this time around. I may not get the same exact feel, but I've heard nothing but good things about Wilwood, which backs up my desire for them!

    Looking forward to seeing you get the Wildwood calipers BP. Would like to see if you get the same pedal feel....this will seriously sway me in this direction for the ///M

    As far as the Corrado goes... despite not having dust boots, they didn't rust at all? Did you ever drive it in the winter?
    no, i didn't run it in the winter and i don't think it had been previously with the dynalites.

    i just checked out massive brakes - they are in montreal, very cool! looks like they make some very high-quality stuff. the caliper brackets look superb.

    Is there a Porsche brake option for the 330?
    i don't know, but designing and making caliper mounting brackets for porsche brembos is pretty easy. i've done it.

    that is a pretty pricey upgrade! and - unfortunately as they should have come like that from the factory. oh well!
