Default Big Brake Kits, 4-5 sets for dirt cheap!

PM me for pricing... Please included which sizes and rotor options you would like the quote for in the PM. Sorry stock C5 wheel guys, BBK's require an 18" rim

I've recently gained access to X Y Z products and am passing it on to you AT PRICES TOO LOW TO LIST! SELLING 4-5 SETS AT ACTUAL COST!

http://www.xyz-racing.com/
Build quality is great as is the performance!!!!!
The quality of these brakes are unbelievable and right up there with the best! With this kit you get to customize however you like to fit your needs/wants with rotor sizes and caliper colors!


Each kit includes;

-Two diamond cut slotted 2 piece rotors with aluminum center hats.

-Two squeeze forged aluminum calipers.

-Two hardened mounting brackets with high tensile strength steel fasteners and shims.

-Two teflon coated stainless steel brake lines.

-Two sets of street performance pads.

*The rear rotors retain the OEM parking brake function.

Available in red or yellow powder coat and an anodized black or gold finish.




***The calipers use standard AP, Ferodo, Pagid, Mintex etc pads and all spare parts are available. Pad change is quick and easy also! Here are the specs on their pads***

-Sport pads, ceramic, semi-metallic (supplied with the kits);

-Coefficient of friction - .46 - .53

-Temp range - 194 - 1,022

-Race pads, carbon, metal, graphite;

-Coefficient of friction - .5

If you would like to order a set, feel free to shoot me a PM and we can get you set up for a set AT ACTUAL COST!!!!



Okay the verdict is in! I rode in Tim's car today with the 355mm kit and HOLT SH*T!!!!! This was on a road course with a pro behind the wheel, I was in the passenger seat. I was used to my hawk padded stock brakes and these things make those look like.... well a joke is the best description!!!! Just as an idea, my stock brake set-up gave up so bad that I had to sit out the 4th session as they were pretty much completely lost.... Tim's car with these brakes went HARD for 4 sessions, 1 of which driven by a pro who gave them NO MERCY and came in saying something along the lines of, "the brakes a simply amazing, I pushed them very hard and never once even felt them fade a bit!"

Another instructor who rode with Tim would not stop commenting to me on how awesome his brakes were when he was in the car with me after, haha.






I am offering this special for just 4-5 people. Do not miss out on this, will be the lowest pricing on BBKs you will see! Lead time of these for the first order is 20-30 days to make the brackets and ship to your door. If you want in, I am accepting deposits to hold your spot, once we get 4-5 people, the order will be placed together to save you on shipping!

I'm currently running these (that's my Pewter 99 in the above pics) and will try to answer any specific questions you may have. I get to the Track as often as I can, I'm not by any means a great driver nor a brake expert but will answer any and all questions the best I can and honestly!

We are only doing this to obtain a dealer status with the company, which is why we are only doing a few sets at this cost. You are correct, would be hard to pay the bills with nothing coming in

Hmmm, wonder if these could work on a c4, especially the 14" kit.

Shoot I'd have to sell all my 17" rims though
No one seems to have 18" rims for a good price - even take offs

They do fit C6s but to fit em on your C4 you'd have to get some brackets made I'm afraid...

Edit: I just got some pics from my last day at the track for the year, it was raining but still a blast!




Couldn't shake this AWD Porsche to save my life!

Do they fit a standard C6 Coupe with stock front size/offset wheels or are spacers needed?

I am unsure on all model wheels. I can send you templates if you would like to check. tstar ran the split 5 spoke C6 wheels on his c5 and it required a 13mm spacer up front

12mm front and 13mm on the rear Jon...

I had wheel and hub centric spacers made and installed 1/2" longer studs with ET nuts and this setup is holding very well... Heck of alot cheaper then new wheels too!

FYI for this section, you guys are running pretty hard... I just got back into RRing and am gaining ground. MY last track day was a on and off rain day(pics above, post 8) but I'm starting to run better... I've shaved 13ish seconds off my initial lap times from starting out this Spring and reached the temp limit on the Sport pads, 1,022 degrees... Not a catastrophic failure but a longer pedal into the ABS, yep into the red zone on the butt pucker meter! I haven't installed my DRM/Quantuam ducts yet and I'm sure that would have prolonged the pads but I'm buying their Race pads to try out for next season! You can buy other compounds also as they take a AP and Ferodo pad size...
