Picking Brakes

[trackracer88]

Guys, I need some help finishing off the plans for my time attack car. I'm trying to work out what brakes to use, and was thinking of V8 Supercar items (would have to convert centres back though). The problem is, everywhere I look tells me they're something different. I was also looking as Mark Berry runs (to the best of my knowledge) Alcon items. Can anyone give me any information on either set-up, or anything similar?

what car? what size rotors you looking at? cost?

you really only going to enter 1 event per year (superlap)?

if so....stick with standard gtr calipers, braided lines and 2 piece rotors with ally hats. or even better the ksport/d2/g4 setup.

This would be adequate for 2-3 quick laps at a time (ie more than soft tyres can take) and nice and light to reduce unspring mass . G4s are a bit lighter than standard.

Of course if you want more all round brakes, ksport 355mm for medium to high power or ap/alcon/brembo for high power over 355ishmm rotors. Wheel diameter and power are factors. What chassis btw, your profile says VL commodore...not familiar with their suspension (strut front, solid axle rear?)
