Bigger brakes

[Chris L]

Hey Fellas;
Whilst on the Python thing as my build came after Davids I can confirm mine came with the Girlock front calipers. However George's original spec brakes are long gone after a kit from Hoppers Stoppers which were fine. They also went after a while and I grabbed a set of Calipers (Wilwood 6 piston fronts) from Craig at AP and set about matching them up to a 330mm/32 ,hat set up for the front. Still use the original spindles that came with the car as I still have the Hoppers adapters over them to make it all work. That combined with the 4 pot Wilwoods on the back(Jag rear with outboard brake mounts) with a 315mm/32 rotor, I believe the brakes are the strongest part of my car and I'm extremely happy with the way they work. Mind you, it took me 3 goes to get it right !!
I flogged them at Shelbyfest last year and they were fantastic, consistent from start to finish and excellent feel, they didn't flinch............unlike the driver on a few occasions.
But as you guys know, its how you want to use your car, I always wanted something to do track days and fiddled around until I got it.

I must also mention Riverside Racing in Werribee. If you want some rotors and hats, go and see Gary there. He has a heap of stuff(new & second hand), his knowledge is unbelievable and he is great to deal with.Check out his Website to give yourself an idea of what he has and can do.
