Knock Off GT500 Brembos

[RavenGT]

Just buy a cheap junkyard set on ebay and rebuild them yourself. It's not a difficult process. Rather rudimentary, actually. Then you will know exactly what you have.

A lot harder to find them on Ebay within Canada. Searching from the US just show a bunch of copies.

Not in a rush to buy now. I’ll just wait for someone to sell on Kijiji or local forums.

Or buy the six piston brembos like I have. They are genuine from Rock Auto. You only need the 2013 or 2014 gt500 rotors if you have a 05-14 gt and ss braided lines. If your are not road racing, you are good. My stopping power is killer with them, and pads are still just carbon ceramics, not track compound.

Oh I’ve thought about them. Just can’t find an inexpensive 18” wheel that would fit over them. I know Apex has 18” wheels that would fit but they’re not cheap.

Reason why I want to fit an 18” wheel is for the winter time. I’m currently using 19” Brembo GT wheels with Blizzaks wrapped on them. The driving is adequate in the snow but sloppy for cornering and acceleration. I want a taller narrower tire.

Found some used S197 4 piston Brembos locally. Came with stock Ferodo pads and practically new Power Stop slotted and drilled rotors and Z26 pads. Not a fan a of the Power Stop stuff so I’m just gonna sell them locally. Would rather get blank rotors and semi-metallic pads.

those are “remanufactured” from Nugeon. Who knows if they’re real or not with that price.

I do and they are. But like I posted earlier, if you are that concerned with authenticity, find a used pair and rebuild them yourself.

 

[xeninworx]

I just bought a used pair this morning.

Good to know the Nugeons are not copies. Currently Rockauto only has the 1 side and not the other. Tried searching for other places in Canada for the other side but didn’t find any. They seem scarce right now.

I don’t have to worry about this anymore as I got some used ones. They’re actually in really good condition. Don’t think they got used very much as the Ferodo pads that come stock on the Brembos have plenty of life left in them. Eventually I’ll tear them down and see if the seals need replacing as I’m going to repaint them.

 

[RavenGT]

Those pads have zero life left in them unless you have the rotors they wore along with. "Reconditioners" like Carmax do stupid shit like that.

 

[xeninworx]

I’m not planning on using them. Will be buying new rotors, pads, brake lines and dust shields.

Everything I got except for the calipers I’m just gonna sell for cheap. I hate having parts I don’t need laying around. Still gotta sell a K series valve cover and a V6 throttle body from when I had my Civic Si.

I have a pair of nugeons (painted red) + mustang decal
I have the performance pack wheels and my fronts don't clear the brembos
20 x 8.5 35mm offset
20x10 rear
I am debating of selling of em if anyone is interested. I don't like the thought of using a 8 to 10mm spacer

 

[LarryJM]

Amazon sells them for a little over $100 a pair no core charge these days. A full set for all fours will set you back $225.

 

[LarryJM]

I have 20mm spacers for 8.5mm clearance with Base Wheels.

Pics and price?

Amazon for the best deal on Brembo knockoffs and Rockauto for Rotors. Several aero space companies in LA for spacers and a jobber in NC for the 1 inch adaptors in the back. Get the full zinc coated rear rotors.

 

[LarryJM]

17mm spacers.

 

[LarryJM]

Rotors are $35 each at RockAuto and pads are $30 for a full set front and back. Again RockAuto Calipers all the way around was $225 on Amazon no core. For sure the backs were Power Stop by Callahan and the front Brembos knockoff were Callahan. Adaptors are about $100 and the spacers were $50. Thats a little under $600 for all the parts.

What wheels do you need a 17 mm spacer for?
