wondering if anyone put g37 calipers on a 240

[nightsauce]

i know its probably overkill but has anyone ever put g37 calipers on a 240? They're huge!!! only 4 pistons but huge

Piston count has nothing to do with braking torque.

Pad area, piston area, rotor diameter (outside and swept area) do.

For instance, if you have 2 calipers, one of them is a 2" piston diameter, single piston sliding caliper and the other is a 4 piston caliper with 1" diameter pistons, the single piston caliper will actually end up having 2x the clamping force of the 4 piston caliper. On the same size rotor, the sliding caliper would have 2x the braking torque.

That being said, if the outside of that caliper is an indicator on the size of the pistons, I think they are probably too large for the 240. You would definitely end up with some crazy front brake bias that would make your stopping distance longer.

Not to mention you probably need at least 19s to tuck those calipers.

And I thought the gold brembos were sexy...

I have been seeing this at red lights and such and have been wondering because they are massive.

as other people said...you'll need some massive wheels to fittem

pistons are tiny in comparison to the caliper

i would imagine a bracket is required to bring the caliper away from the hub. similar to what people do when the want to use z33 track rotors with z32 calipers.

Nightsauce... do me a favor, unbolt a caliper and see if they come close to fitting your brembo brackets.

i imaging it would cost a pretty penny for those calipers probably enough to go with the wilwood setup

you should try using the GTR calipers THOSE R MASSIVE

[nightsauce]

the brakes are 230 + shipping each on ebay.

wow nice price put it on and tell us how it feels

lol im not forking out the cash for those
