2013 Brembodge Group Buy

[ttrw2]

Mitus made some nice ones up in a Group Buy some years ago.

*I think* I may even have a pair in the brake box in the garage. I check.

[stefaclese]

I have a pair somewhere that I could measure up and draw in Catia so anyone can hand an engineering place a CAD model and/or technical drawing if needs be.

[stuballs]

Reckon I'll need spacers to get these under my BRM wheels but will have to wait until it's all on before I know if spacers will do it and what size I'll need. Was going to get some anyway for a bit of stance and was planning on fitting longer studs. Hubcentric spacers are the only way to go and not cheap if you go to one of these specialists. Wonder if there's any chance of another group buy popping up...

[stefaclese]

Have a flick through the original Brembodge thread that's linked earlier in this thread, there was mention of BRM clearance in there somewhere. Iirc they would have needed something extreme like 10mm spacers, that's assuming the rim can actually get over the brakes in the first place.

[Smilerbaker]

thanks all

Do the brembo calipers fit under the 11 spokes fitted as standard to the Mk2 180s?

Edit: Found my answer in the project thread - needs a 5mm spacer.

So, Q 1) Where can I get said spacer 2) do I need to do anything else because of the spacer - i.e. I presume there's enough stud left to fix the nuts back on?

[peteT16]

I fitted them with mk2 11 spokes, and used a 7mm spacer and extended studs, tbh I would weigh up carefully if you need them for a standard 180.

[SteveChilds]

To be honest it is more for looks than anything else.

7mm - sounds rather alot. Doesn't it put stress on the hub & suspension bits as the load is going to be further away from the hub than designed?

[ttrw2]

As above, Pete's probably the most experienced ZS brembodge user.

In terms of the spacer, 7mm would be no different than going from a standard ET45 alloy to ET38 (as most aftermarket are e.g. OZ Superleggeras)

[peteT16]

Cheers Rob.

As above 7mm doesn't appear to have caused any problems in the 3 years or so that they've been fitted, the original 5mm spacers that Mitus had made had an inherent problem with a weak spot around the spigot mount due to the thinness of material in that area, his later ones went to 7mm to address the problem.

I also used ARP lengthened Honda studs and trimmed them down to the desired length to give me 5 turns to fully tight which equates to 7.5mm of stud in the nut.

[Cableguy]

I am at 14mm at the front ( 2 x 7mm ) more for the wider track.

Jase uses 18mm and I cant remember him mentioning replacing wheel bearings often, other than when he leaves things loose

[Skillen]

Lol, I've got 20mm each on the front and 30mm each on the back.
And I've done a lot of miles since having them on.
No problems yet and they are massive spacers compared to the 7mm! Haha!

Yeah, I had to say I was a bit concerned when I read that! That's 3cm out from standard, that's far more than I'd go. I'm worried over 7mm! lol

Has anyone looked into the Spoon 4Pots that fit over the standard 282 discs? They're upgrades for certain civics, but I've been unable to categorically prove that they're a bolt on upgrade for the ZS.

[Skillen]

I got them for the looks and they look good!
They are hub centric fix to the studs and have their own studs to fix the wheel too so no worries of the wheel falling off I hope!

If the hub bearings go, they go. I'll change em.

At least these brakes will fit under now

[jase]

yeh ive used 18mm ones for some 10 years now and never had a bearing fail. I had to do something really stupid to damage one. Even then it got 100 miles home with the whole front left axle wrecked. just didnt drive very well on boost

[SteveChilds]

Ok, final question (I promise!) - where can I get the 7mm spacers & ARP lengthened Honda studs from ?

Looking like I'll be interested in a set of discs as well, just need to find some calipers and the above.

Also I read that someone got some 406 brake hoses as they fit better, can you get braided versions of these as I'd quite like to upgrade the hoses at the same time.

[peteT16]

i got my studs from ebay, I'll dig out a link in a sec http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARP-Extended- ... 4ac6c6c785 the spacers may still be available from Mitus on the forum http://www.rovertech.net/forum/viewtopi ... 5&t=114073 (worth a pm maybe) the hoses were supplied by Grant at GBE

[ttrw2]

OK Gents,

People have started sending me the balances for the kits (£233).

We shall set the end date for this Group Buy as Friday 30th August or once all balances have been received - whichever comes first. The intention will then be to make the orders for bits on Monday 2nd September.

Any new joiners will need to pay full balance straight away.

In the meantime could the guys on the list (first post) please arrange for balances by Friday 30th Aug? Or get in touch to discuss if it's going to be any later than the order date (2nd Sept).

Cheers,
Rob.

[ttrw2]

Just a gentle reminder - outstanding balances by end of week please!

Cheers
Rob.

[Skillen]

Mine should be coming your way tomorrow.

[ttrw2]

Received, cheers

First post updated.

[ttrw2]

Last day of GB guys...

[stuballs]

Balance paid

[Skillen]

Got myself a pair of brembos for £125 collecting them on Sunday.
Will need a bit of a refurb i think but I don't mind doing that, gonna try and get the full kit for them.

Just need to find a guide now!

***GROUP BUY CLOSED as of Friday 30th Aug***

All balances received, bits will be ordered on Monday and I'll report back with expected delivery dates. Cheers -

[Longerz]

crap missed out again lol when the next one to be expected

[ttrw2]

Last one was 3 years ago, we only just got the numbers this time...

Another 3 years?

[bradzrtubz]

Will this kit fit the Brembo 4pots off the fiat coupe turbo from the pictures they look the same, and are you able to put another kit together would go for the drilled brakes if my calipers are correct for the kit, did inbox but no sure if it went thru

[stefaclese]

You need Peugeot 406 V6 Coupe Brembos for this kit, the spacing between the lugs on the Fiat Coupe Brembos is different.
