It's a three piece lightweight disc conversion kit (even though they look like one piece items from Matalan) from Nismo-arti made as a one off at great expense especially for Biggster's 950bhp/500mph Munrano... with fluffy dice !!

Re: 8 PISTON Brake upgrade for Alfa GTA !

Very simple PC


Took the Murano's keys. Dumped them into the bin. Took a whole load of cash from my bank account and went off to the Maserati Dealer.
Didn't even have to use a screwdriver...

Re: 8 PISTON Brake upgrade for Alfa GTA !

I have these fitted as stand but would like to up-grade, can anyone tell me how I go about measureing up bigger shoe's (as I have no feet I'm a bit stumped how to start) also do you think fatter lace's would give me a better 0-60 time. I had considered a 'high heel' up-grade but I think that may be a bit over the top for track days

Nice - more photo's please!!!

Do you know if they do them in Red

I fancy a pair also - did you have any mods done prior to fitting them? Do they float and do the nuts bend at all

Re: 8 PISTON Brake upgrade for Alfa GTA !

This once serious topic has turned into a circus, no offense guys, but it's the truth.
Come on, can we be serious here ? I for one follow this thread to find out info about brakes and such, not to read dubious jokes, again, no offense.

You calling us clowns

Actually I think you'll find this thread - as have many other techie threads lately - turned into another 'Mines bigger than yours contest' between two particular people !!

It's all getting a bit sad really isn't it !! No offence !!

Re: 8 PISTON Brake upgrade for Alfa GTA !

That's true, it has turned into a contest lately, but then, even with the contest we can still find out some valuable info every now and then.
And no, I am not calling you clowns, hunk hunk

Who are you to judge whats sad or not.... I for one find it sad that you post thousands of meaningless blabber post here, day in and day out..year on year.. just to get your post count up.. But i would never dream of high jacking one of those threads or wave my finger at you without direct and strong provocation.. No one dialed your number so why don't you just bugger off this thread! ??
