Recession Friendly Brake Upgrade
This appears to be real, looks like a easy way to get those Big Reds.
 Looks like these are big in Bangkok.

Don't buy them unless you are going to 17 inch wheels. There won't be enough clearance with stock wheels on your early 911.

These aren't new. They came from the Honda, Toyota crowd...
Why would you put a piece of (insulating) fibreglass over you callipers? I love the cardboard measuring device for the clearance... lol Save your money for something your car really needs like a new air filter (OEM not K&N)...

Why not airbag suspension while you're at it...

Peter LOL always put the SCUBA tank right next to the fuel, you want plenty of oxygen for ideal combustion!

Next upgrade step is to stencil holes in your rotors with a permanent marker pen

Actually these were carefully engineered. They add a lot less unsprung weight than those nasty real Brembo things.

right up there with the plastic rollcages I've seen for sale, for that racer look...
and the speaker you put in your engine compartment to simulate the sound of blow-off valve, so you can sound like you have a turbo... and the front mounted intercoolers I've seen on several imports that aren't connected to anything, just there for the look... |

Sadly, I only have 16" - might be the incentive I need to upgrade to 17"!

Looks like they come with bleeder screws ... I wonder if future ricers will have issues with brake bleeding?
