Brake caliper Brembo or Girling

Brembo Brake caliper

Yeah I dropped to 19s on mine and it's night and day difference for daily driving. Went with 19x8.5 ET45 and 255/50R19 tires - plenty of clearance over the Brembos and the ride is way more civilized. Still looks good too, the 21s were just brutal on city streets

Pros: ride is way more civilized
Cons: 21s were just brutal

Im actually in the middle of working on a unique BBK for my E38 and have been looking at rotor/caliper options, I think this may be a decent option for you-958 Cayenne rear brembos.

Pros: decent option

I’ve been considering new calipers for my Evo 4 (GSR) as well to replace my stock ones since they’re in pretty rough shape, but the only swap I’ve been able to find that is documented at all is the Evo 5-9 Brembos

Cons: rare and expensive
Vehicle: Mitsubishi

Brembo Brake caliper

I recently did a brembo 18z caliper install and sadly my Audi s3 wheels do not clear the calipers. Plenty of room around the barrel, but the spokes hit. i will be adding a 10mm spacer to make them fit.

Pros: plenty of room around barrel
Cons: spokes hit calipers
Vehicle: Audi S3

In the early aughts I scored a set of the Girling 54 calipers from a 16v and my dad and I rebuilt and painted them before installing in my first '84. I didn't upgrade the MC (didn't know better at the time) so the brake pedal travel increased but the braking improved so I kept the set up ... until the next annual MO state vehicle inspection where the car failed for excessive brake pedal travel The 9.4" set up went back on.

Pros: braking improved
Cons: brake pedal travel increased
