Started quiet a lengthy post on brakes I'm looking at then lost it, so here's a quick one, will detail it more with links later.

Looking for new brakes and have a few options. Looking for brutal honesty, cause this is antilag.

Attkd 6 piston 330mm rotors bolt up jza70 kit. I've always wondered about these brakes, look just like endless calipers. Has the same design of a lot of calipers.

Wilwood 6 piston 14inch rotors bolt up jza70 kit. I love my 4 piston 13inch so 14 can only be better. The bolt up kit is way over priced so I would get the Wilwood offset hats and weight up the price of custom brackets versus the other off the shelf bolt up kits.

Ceika 6 piston 345mm rotors jza70 bolt up kit. New to the name and don't know much about them. They do have a rx7 with the brakes on them done 20 hours track time.

That's it for now. Post away!

These are Challenger SRT8 4pots on my MA70. I used 350mm DBA rotors with some Hats that i got made. No adapter bracket needed, Just drilled the mounting holes out to 14mm, bolts up to stock brake lines.
Matched them up with the Rear Evo/wrx bolt on kit and it stops extremely well. Had a blast at Barbagallo till i boiled the fluid.

That is awesome mate. I've always been a big believer of using what works. I sold my front brakes off thinking I was getting a good deal on some brembo brakes and now I am regretting it big time. Too much effort to use the f50 brembos and stoptech rotors.

My old Wilwood setup. 4 pot superlites Wilwood on 13in rotors, from Arizona performance.

Yeh a couple guys have the arizona kits. I scored a deal on the SRT8 calipers and just happened to have the same PCD as the stock calipers. Im quite happy with them, but you need to run an 18" front to clear them.
