Big Brakes

10.1", vented, slotted and cross drilled rotors.
Girling G54 Calipers.

Black wheel with shiny metallic surface and a black caliper with a shiny rotor peeking through.
That combination should not draw a lot of unwanted attention.


Pretty much filling the space behind a 14" wheel.

Combined with Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines the pedal feel is wonderful.
Linear. Positive.

I wasn't really excited about the performance impact of the bigger brakes.
I remember stories about the old time speed shops where anyone asking about brake up grades was met with a refrain of "We don't sell parts that make your car slower."
With only 90 WHP I was fearing that the loss of HP caused by the larger, heavier rotating mass of the brakes would greatly outweigh any enjoyment from the increased braking performance.
I'm pleased to say the power loss seems negligible. Easily outweighed by the confidence instilled by the better braking.
The bigger brakes seem better matched to the cars current state of tune.
