B&T Super Deluxe front disk brakes
Well as the title suggests i have just installed the B&T Super Deluxe front brake kit available from Powerslideracing
http://powerslideracing.com.au/index...roducts_id=590
The quality of this kit is awesome and installation is straightforward.
Once installed they look like they were meant to be part of the kit
a little bit of fine tuning and it brakes perfectly
here are some pics of the brakes installed
#Note in pic above i have installed a couple of bushes with grub screws too the cables so that when throttle is applied the cables do not extend past the caliper. a short video below showing what i mean.
and a short video showing how well they work.

That's the first video I've ever seen that showed the stopping power of front bakes and I must say that I'm quite impressed!!!
That kit looks very nice.

Thats a tidy set off brakes dude, and they slow up real good, now go set up some cones and time lap yourself and see how well they do as opposed not having them on.

How good do those brakes stop. I tossed between buying those or hydraulic.

That would be a great show of stopping power difference.

very nice looking kit you got there. And love the video, never seen a Baja stop that fast!
Do you notice any less turning radius because of the cables?

Great stopping power. Photo shows that the brake cable mount forward of servo is coverup/using the roll Cage forward mount hole. AmI seeing that right??
Are you still running the roll cage????

No your not seeing right. roll cage mounts on Gunmetal part of chassis, cable mount goes on top of the front shock tower mount.

Wow, from what I can tell, it sure does look like it stops even and not all over the place.
Very nice info you have shared.
