Looks great. I've been considering the same upgrade and spoke to RacingBrake and they said the rotor is the same for the 4p calipers. Now I'm not sure if it matters between a single piece or 2 piece.

Definately post your thoughts on the feel overall. Are you a hard driver?

 

Looks good.
The more I see this kit, the more I am persuaded to purchase it. I just wish they had the drilled rotors for the rear also.

Thank you for sharing

 

I am definitely what could be termed a hard driver. Although, with doing track days in the SE-R and the bike, I have chilled on the street. The plan is to do a track day next summer with the G, but the bike is already prepped and paid for. I will post my overall impressions, once i have a few miles on the kit. Also I am waiting on a price from RB, for just the 4 ppiston calipers. and associted hardware.

 

So you're going to track with the 1 piece setup? I've been thinking about doing the same, but they recommended going to the 2pc. I'm concerned that the stock calipers are not up to the challenge. Do you have any concerns?

 

I spoke with RB on this before I bought the kit, and for limited track use they said the 1 piece would be fine. The calipers should be fine on a limited basis. The main advantage of the lager rotors is a greater heat sink, and better fin design to allow better cooling. Withe the rest of the car being pretty much stock, I don't believe I will be pushing hard enough to need the bigger calipers. I ran stock calipers on my SE-R, and ran much harder than I intend to run the G, with no problems. If I was running big horsepower and upgraded suspension, I would probably go to at least a 4, if not 6 piston, caliper.

 

Thanks for the insight. I've been very indecisive about what to do with my brakes. I got my last warranty brake replacement done a while back and now that I have to pay for it I want to do some sort of upgrade. I've been looking at the RB for $1K to $1.5K, Wilwood for $2.1K, or OEM Brembo for $1.7K all f&r. The Brembo might fit the spare, where as the others don't, but the Brembo's seem to be impossible to find.

 

Bigger rotor means longer brake leverage therefore ‘reduces’ the pedal effort ---> Increases the brake torque with the same amount of force (pedal effort). Click here to learn how RB designs and builds their OE Caliper kits:

Why RB OE caliper kit is different from others

Click below and learn how RB OE caliper BBK for NSX helped Jerome win the championship in HSR racing that outperformed those expensive aluminum caliper kits costing several times more. Not to mention the additional requirement of wheel spacers, longer wheel studs, bigger wheel and limited brake pads choice to their calipers in addition to the complicated installation.

RB always offer front and rear BBK at the same time to ensure the system remains in good balance after upgrade. Also RB is the only brake company offers progressive upgrades to suit your need and budget; for example:

Step 1: Rotor Upgrade – It can be done with our one piece rotor (front rotors are upgraded from OE’ straight vanes to directional curved vane for better air circulation and keep the disc cooler) or two piece rotors.

Step 2: OE Caliper BBK – Your choice of two piece rotor or one piece rotor.

Step 3: Retaining the big rotors from your step 2 upgrade and just purchase the aluminum calipers and adaptor from our upgrading center, you save the your investment (RB big rotors).

Step 4: For people want to go direct to aluminum caliper BBK we have 4 pot front/2 pot rear

Step 5: The largest BBK, 6 pot front (14” two piece rotor) / 4 pot rear (13” two piece rotor).

All our brake products are precisely engineered and built to our standards and production control to assure the finest quality in material, design and workmanship. We make the brake upgrade affordable so we don’t add items to the package that you may not need, e.g. brake line or pad but they can always be purchased later as needed.

We work hard to ensure your purchase with RacingBrake is always budget and installation friendly and in addition to our longest 6 month warranty in the industry we also offer money back guarantee to your satisfaction.

Thank you for your interest and trust and please feel free to email or PM us or post in our forum for any question or concern you may have regarding your brake upgrade need.

 

But this is only for the front right?

If I can get 2 or 4-pot calipers that will fit my rear oem upgrade, I'll take them!

 

Are there BBK templates available for the 4 and 6 pot Racing Brake calipers? So far I checked the Stoptech and AP racing ones and they won't fit on my car without wheel spacers.

 

If you go to their website and pick a kit, there is a link with a template, for each caliper.

I'm not sure if this will help or not but their 4-pot kit clears my stock sport 17's.

 

Ttrank:
How does the 4 piston setup perform, and do you have experience with the stock Brembo setup?

 

I don't have experience with the G's stock Brembo but I have been very happy with my kit.

I went from oem size power slot to the 4-pot front and oem rear because that is what was out at the time. I have been very happy with my kit's performance on a few long hard mountain runs and lots of other hard driving.

 

Does anyone know if this will clear 16" rims? I use these rims for the winter.

 

No you will need 17's to clear.
