Fellas, can Brembo calipers be fitted straight onto standard HSE discs, is it worth the hassle/expense, and would grooved and/or drilled discs improve braking performance?

If thats not enough, add the drilled or slotted discs.
If thats not enough I have a set of 2006 brembos , brake booster, lines and accesories necessary to make it a supercharged system brakes, these are the oem parts exact to what comes in my 2006 RR supercharged.
You needd to go to 20 inches in wheels! I also have thise taken off mine!
You decide, when I put more ppower in my superchatged my OEM brembo werent enough so I went with racing brakes, six piston race setup.

Thanks! Can you recommend good pads? What about greenstuff (Red?), are they better than the standard Ferodo? Nobody seems to have slotted discs, any suggestions? Looks like Brembo would cost a fortune so I'll try the other options first.., if I can locate the parts!!!

In the absence of specific brand recommendation, I'm going to fit Rossini grooved/drilled discs from Car Parts Direct on the front and Kevlar-based pads all round supplied by Twisted Performance. I'll post an update on difference once fitted!

Details & pics would be nice = look forward to the results

Let us know the performance and amount of dust that you get with the kevlar pads.

Will do! Just awaiting front Rossini discs (£210), already have the full set of EBC greenstuff pads (£150), and will update when fitted. Incidentally, the application for the standard TDV6 is identical to D3.

Right! Rossini front discs now fitted along with EBC greenstuff pads all 'round. Response is instantly much sharper than standard brakes, even BEFORE the bedding-in process is completed. Undoubtedly better braking, no need to stamp hard on the pedal anymore before bringing the bus to a halt.

Cant tell whether the improvement is specifically due to the pads or to the discs, but the combination certainly works well. Dust does seem possibly better, certainly no worse. Looks great too. Rear discs currently unavailable, due early 2007, although probably unnecessary (?). All applications as D3. Hope that helps, I'll try and get some pix on soon.

So, who needs expensive Brembo brakes anyway!

Now, any questions fellas?

Tip: If thinking of either drilled or slotted discs, go for the latter. Drilled discs often start to crack around the holes in time.

Interesting tip, thanks Phil. Rossini are supposed to be manufactured from superior materials, including strength-improving manganese, but I'll advise if problems develop. Anybody needing further information should contact Martin at Car Parts Direct on 01332 290833 (UK Sole Importers).

Now where's my digital camera??
