Kindly allow me to share.
Yes, if for streets use, higher temp pads with higher co-efficient and steel braided hose suffice. But if your setup(output) is more aggressive than usual, suggest use real 2pots or mini 4potters with disc assy for rear. Do be aware of the few additional constraints thereafter.

Already on steel brake hose..
ya output is slightly more aggressive then normal.. my normal brake pads wear out quite fast.
Where would you recommand to get high temperature brake pads ?

Please advise what are the constraints? Need bigger wheels with greater offset? Or need to upgrade brake pump? Or...? |

For most mini 4 pots, the brakes would NORMALLY clear the rims.. but the big 4 pots normally would need a bigger set of rims most of the time 17", to clear. 16" may clear with the use of spacers.. also, a bigger brake pump would be good as it would maximise the potential of your brakes.. else its sort of like having alot of food but your tummy can't hold so much.. hahaha.. okie, i dun think that is a good example, but you get wad i'm trying to get at ya.. =) |

Hi guys, N16 brake pads are wearing out and am looking out for either.. 1. upgrade of brakes to 2 pot or 2. Performance brake pads for current stock kit. Any lobang to get either ? It all depends on the brake caliper.. But changing the brake caliper is quite a big project cause you need to know/have all these: 1. Size of brake caliper (2/4/6 pots) 2. Size of accompanying rotors 3. Suitability (need to mod anything to fix the caliper to chassis) 4. Rim offset 5. Changing to steel braided hose (rubber hose cannot support) 6. Replacing of dot4 (Drain and refill) 7. Time (at least 1/2 a day if everything can fix nicely) 8. Money ( for labour cost, resizing/changing of rotors, modding the caliper to fix on chassis, change rims if cannot fit, steel braided hose for all 4 wheels, new can of dot4) This is my setup using a S15 4pot brake caliper with rotors resized. 16inch rim w/o spacer. But look at the offset..  |
