Brake caliper Brembo or OEM Audi

Brembo Brake caliper

The Boss 302 is unapologetically brash, loud, in your face, and a prime example of what an American car should be. The Recaro seats are absolutely awesome, as is the cueball shifter, and the Alcantara covered steering wheel. The weakest point of this package is the braking. With 4-piston Brembo calipers up front and 1 piston floaters in the back, the brakes are decent and will stop the car in a hurry but honestly I wish they had way more bite.

Pros: Recaro seats are awesome
Cons: brakes lack bite
Vehicle: Ford Mustang

Stock brakes are most excellent for doing a single, high speed, emergency stop. They are designed around that. If you plan on driving the car quite aggressively, or tracking it, you'll need to improve upon the stock setup. Good pads, a flush with good fluid, and stainless lines will do wonder for both fade resistance and pedal feel. You don't need big Brembos or an aftermarket caliper to track a car, and you can even aggressively track a car with improved stock brakes; you just need to adjust your driving style. In general, aftermarket calipers are largely for show, but hey...if you're going to splurge on something that isn't \"necessary\", it might as well be your brakes versus something else!

Pros: excellent for emergency stops, improve fade resistance
Cons: need improvement for aggressive driving
Vehicle: Audi SQ5

I did the Brembo 18Z(Touareg/Cayenne/Q7 calipers) on mine. It wound up being relatively cheap, less than $1000, but I used normal powerslot slotted rotors not 2 piece fancy rotors. They were relatively cheap and look awesome. Wheel clearance is a MAJOR issue, finding wheels to clear with anywhere near stock offset is very hard. They do NOT have bias issues that some people complain about when putting them on other MKV and MKVI cars, I would say my car brakes in a very balanced way.

Pros: relatively cheap, look awesome
Cons: wheel clearance is issue

I used some dual piston calipers from the Audi, and the fit under my 15's with like a quarter inch clearance. These are more braking power than is needed. The pads are much larger than the stock pads, and if you really step into the pedal they will lock the tires up at any speed!

Pros: more braking power
Cons: lock the tires up
Vehicle: Audi

These calipers came off an audi 5000 turbo and each caliper has 2 pistons (dual piston) this means you will get a great amount of breaking force with each pump. These are a GREAT UPGRADE for your track car or daily car without having to spend so much money to get aftermarket brakes.

Pros: great breaking force, great upgrade
Vehicle: Audi

The callipers flex and the point which hits is not where you grind...but further outward...it'll be obvious how they flex when you look. I use my brakes VERY hard with some pretty trick pads...so you may not have the same problem...but mine have grooved the inside of two sets of front wheels.

Cons: calipers flex, grooved wheels

The biggest problem with the Girling 60s is the weight, and the fact that the calipers are designed for 10 5/8" rotors, so they aren't a perfect fit with Corrado G60 11.0" brake rotors that they are used with.

Cons: weight, not perfect fit
