Product Description

This is another custom designed setup. It uses 4-pod Forged Aluminum caliper with a 1 inch vented 10 1/8 rotor with Hawk brake pads. This kit does require minimum of 14 in rims. No modification is required to install this kit. 

This kit stopped on average 27 feet sooner in a 50-0 mph braking test compared to Stock TR8 front brakes.

See the video below

Check the other kits, no one offers aluminum calipers or the ability to buy pads here in the US. Read the testimonials

 

*For replacement pads just order our hawks pads

 

"Recently installed the Wedge Shop front brake system on my TR8. It was about as easy as installing the original calipers/rotors. The only real installation difference was that you have to bend the new brake line. But that is fairly easy if you have a tube bender. Also there are four bleed nipples per caliper, but you only bleed the top ones. The pads were also easier to install with the new brakes.

The new rotor weigh about 1/2 a pound less than the original ones. But they are 1/2" larger in diameter and vented instead of solid.

The new calipers weigh only 5 pounds each which is less than half of what the cast iron calipers weigh. The new calipers have two small pistons that are closer to the edge than the original single piston. My estimate is that the new calipers would have about 20% more stopping torque based on the piston arrangement.

The brake pedal feels firmer with the new brakes. But some of that may be due to bleeding as part of the installation. The stopping power with the new brakes is noticeably stronger. Feels similar to late model car's brakes."
