I friend of mine asked me to post this on here cause he doesnt have access to the private dsmlink forum.

Anyway these are 330mm-1.1inch vented slotted rear disks matched to brand new 2004 porsche cayenne turbo rear calipers.

Enjoy,

Yes it took custom mounts, etc/.

Steven


PS the im talking about the rears not the front stoptechs.

That's great! However, what am I supposed to enjoy? I don't see anything.

here you go

thats crazy? what kind of money did that cost

Well the mounts were tricky and would have been very expensive but a friend owns a custom metal shop and took care of it basically for 40% cost of norm. About $250 or so. Calipers at porsche are $3600.00, happen to come across some on ebay for $500.00 brand new from germany from a good seller. Took 2.5 for them to arrive though. Rotors are custom one offs from tce, funny there is actually two sets out there. But one of them was lost by the post office. So someone out there has some custom rotors just sittin there with my name on the box. Rotors were around $400-$500

I cant remember the prices exactly cause this project start like 7 months ago.

Steven

cool on the sence that its completly diffrent but on the other hand its a complete waste of money. you could have had some raw ass turbo set up that would have sent you so fast down the track thoes stop tec brakes would have had problems slowin you down. just mine opinion tho and very nice brakes. does it feel like you have another set of stop tecs on the rear?

Funny funny,

What do you want man theres nothing left to do on the car. I had to find something,

The mad turbo setup is done,

I wasnt expecting the huge difference in braking, i would say its a good 20% better. Many would argue with that, come for a ride and i will show you. However to be honest it may not be all the brakes, i changed from 210-235 series tires and better compund.

Steven

That is a gorgous set up, especially for the money. You have some great braking potential.
What compound are you running? Maybe switching to something like Porterfields would help get the most of that system. I don't remeber who, but someone in my club who does road race just has big rotor upgrades and Porterfiled pads on their 2g and they say they are outstopping the Porches on the course. From this and other things I've read, it seems pad sellection may just as important as calipers and rotor size. Of course I could be crazy to. WTF
Wait a minute, I am crazy. !

for balance reasons im running a lower friction pad oon the back. Hawk HPS

i have seen some powerful braking systems, but this is one of the coolest. i have always been a fan a huge brakes i think its a great look and well its cant hurt your braking.

thanks for the kind words everyone,

Steven

Nice install, I've been trying to decide on my rear upgrade after doing the fronts. Good to hear you felt an improvement

damn thats nice.... i bet the stopping power is really nice. stops on a dime i bet

What are you doing for a parking brake?

Stock parking brake in the drum,


Steven

Been there. Done that. Glad to see someone else stepping up with some eyeball straining brakes.
I hope ya'll did something for the bias besides just pads. That setup could be dangerous in the wet.

Wow impressed someone has done it to. As for the bias, the car abs and being a 2g has a greater master cylinder piston diameter. I have zero problems in the rain, braking is wonderful/

When did you do yours,
Steven

Glad to hear you don't have bias issues. I have to run matching pads front and rear to keep my bias correct. If I run a softer pad in the rear it comes up to temp quicker than the front and the first couple of laps are a little dicey. Mines not dangerous in the rain but it could use about 5% less in the rear. In the dry they are perfect.
I finished mine up about a year or so ago before I even drove the car. It took alot of research and some help from Todd at TCE before I felt comfortable doing it. Nice job by the way.

Yeah a lot of research and custom rotors/lines from todd helped a lot. Hes a great help,


Steven

Thought those rears look vaguely familiar....

Word is that if you drive around Canada long enough you might find another set of them somewhere along side the road!

Hey Todd'ster happy holidays..


Yeah, but they would require some custom mounts and calipers too. I always watch the local forums and ebay for them. Im sure someone with a eclipse didnt pick them up, so they would need to sell them. Eventually,


Steven

Awesome job! ( I saw it over on the link forums as well... really nice work) Are you doing any track days with these? Or more for just daily driving fun?



N2Ofun... if you ever feel like selling those SSR's... tell me.

track days all the time,

thats the purpose of the setup.


Steven

I was taught that you don't want big rear brakes, because under heavy braking it prevents a forward shift of the CG which in turn results in massive understeer. Is this true?

Hmmm. Too my mind larger rear brakes will not effect weight shift. That's suspension and such. Exploiting the use of larger brakes become dependant upon some of that to a point.

Any shift forward in weight would tend to more oversteer than under in my mind. I don't believe you could get enough rear brake to function enough to induce understeer.

What am I missing here?
