I dare say Alcon would be a tad cheaper if you really needed extra stopping power (on your car it sounds like you needed a new set of discs/pads, as Brembo are about as good as it gets!) Alcon fit brakes to Special Ops land rovers and Paris-Dakar vehicles, so that would be good enough for me!!

Millions of pounds of R&D, and they still suffer from fade during spirited driving... |

Do they do AP brakes for the RRS?

Doesn't mean they're the best for the car though. Beancounters will have got involved to make sure the total price of the car remains acceptable to the market it's aimed for, every part on the car could be probably be upgraded for a better item if designers were given free reign and the price would be that of a MacLaren F1. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Brembo calipers were off the shelf, rather than custom-made. "Roads ? Where we're going there are no roads." Back to the future. |
