S550 4 Pistons on S197 Car

06silverbullet · May 17, 2015

i assume you need the caliper bracket from the s550?

AnotherS197GT · May 17, 2015

There is no caliper bracket. These are set up like the 4P brembos, where they are threaded to accept the bolts. Just get the calipers and go.

If these bolt and center, I doubt there are different spindles for the PP so a 6 piston should bolt and center too maybe?

I would imagine so, but would probably need S197 15" rotors. Looks like the S550 have different part numbers for the rotors.

Yes, they are mine.

Are they centered to the rotor? Hard to tell by the pics. Reason I ask is, I know the S550 rotors are completely different, with the outboard venting instead of inboard on the rotor hats.

Kelly any chance you can test the s550 rotor on an s197 to see if I can just order the full s550 package. I have it priced out on tasca for under 600 lines pads everything

If that is priced with these huge 4-piston calipers and no crazy expensive core charge then that's a good deal IMO.

If I get a chance to stop by BMR this week, I can try it this following weekend. I should be able to drop by Thursday if Kelly isn't too busy slangin traction.

Will those calipers fit in an 18" rim?

BIGCHRISS197 · May 18, 2015

I bought 18x10 sve drifts specifically to clear the old 4p brembos, wonder if these would fit.

A John In NJ · May 18, 2015

Now lets figure out how to put these on the rears of the s197!!
ohhh yeah!

Boaisy · May 18, 2015

I'd be interested too if it offered any advantage over the factory S197 Brembo's. We need some crazy people to test it out.

v6tungsten · May 18, 2015

i'd like to see a comparisons between these and the standard Brembo. specifically the width. my brembo are about 1/4" from hitting the spokes so if they are wider might not fit.

BMR Tech · May 18, 2015

I got a rotor here waiting on ya.

v6tungsten · May 18, 2015

You selling it? shipped to 75098

BMR Tech · May 18, 2015

UltraKla$$ic · May 18, 2015

Hahahahahahaha

I'll see you Thursday, probably around 1 or so?

I'll also measure the new 4P vs my Brembo 4Ps as well.

fast Ed · May 18, 2015

I won't be able to make it happen this week, but I will order in the S550 caliper, flex hose, and rotor to compare on my 07 that already has the S197 14" Brembos. I have 18x9.5" Steeda Pentar and 18x10" SVE Drift wheels to test fit over them.

cheers
Ed

BMR Tech · May 18, 2015

Awesome Ed.

We look forward to the review.

fast Ed · May 18, 2015

As mentioned, will not happen right away as I have a Chumpcar race at Watkins Glen this coming week, then All-Fords at Carlisle is not long after that, have to get my newly acquired Turbo Coupe ready for the 7-hour drive there.
