Great question about the pads, I would prefer one for street use since mine is a daily driver with zero track use. Looks like 910 but if one is available for street only compound that meets the below, great!!
1. street compound
2. low dust option
3. low noise

We usually only list standard/common options, anything else is handled manually including pricing adjustment for pre-order discount/free shipping etc. as the order is received.

After revision you will receive you a revised invoice, so you can review and approve the order before processed, and your credit card is not charged until the shipment is effected at the revised amount.

As to the brake fluid, although RBF660 has a slight higher boiling temperature but cost 30% more than RBF600, so most our track customers either use RBF 600 or upgrade to Castrol SRF which is considered as a better choice than RBF 660 (Being SRF is 1 Liter, RBF660 is 1/2 liter so the the price is about the same.)

http://www.racingbrake.com/Brake-Fluid-s/4412.htm

Please place the order first and other options (including RBF-660) can be further adjusted including brake pads so to ensure your order is configured to your need.

So I went to the dealer and had the pads and rotors checked. so I have plenty of pad and rotor left still both front and back. So now the dilemma. Don't really need brakes but you always need bigger rotors :-\


Can you pm me the price of what it will be once the pre-buy is done?

Replacement, or upgrade, or both?

The pre-order discount and free shipping offer is good until 6/30. After that you still can order the kit but the price will be the sales price listed at that time (subject to change).

Ok so I have some time to think it over. At this point this purchase is not a need necessarily, but a want. I was at least trying to justify it by checking the pads and rotors. We'll see by the end of the month.

Thanks for the order. We will review and amend your order per your optional choice and will send you a revised copy when done.

We started building the first kit for "Wobble64", both brake line and rear calipers are also received, and we hope to get his order out sometime early/mid of next week.

About time!!!!




I don't quite get it why not more C63 owners are all over this. Don't they understand that this is excellent value?


It is going to be tight, but I am planning to install it all myself over July 4 weekend to be ready for NCM July 11. Hopefully it will work out time-wise.

Yeah it took me awhile to sort out my options and find enough spare change in my couch cushions to make it happen.

Unfortunately I'm going to miss Limerock on July 3-4, but hopefully will have this in place for Pocono July 11

Hi there,
the prices are in USD. However, if you still can get in to the introduction price, you would actually get another 10% off and free shipping thrown in!
You can select any pad from their range - ET or XT, although the prices vary a bit. Give RacingBrake a call tomorrow for details.
My set should arrive towards the end of next week and will go in over the weekend. Can't wait!

RB two piece rotor hat - C63 drum size assembled with C63BS rear disc (360x26):



Assembled weight:



Still saves you 5 lbs per rotor even oversized to 360x26mm (vs. original 330x26mm 1pc rotor)

hi wobble

while this is a great mod and very cheap the giro disc is still lighter and a better option especially for people that want to keep there 18in wheels

and for 1200usd cheaper is a no brainer

i love what racing brake has done but for me that who doesnt track there is no point

but keep it up mate i love what you are doing

Actually, with the group buy discount, this is only about $900 more.

And this kit will be light years better.

Oh yeah, and this:

If you want to switch to 18 inch winter tires, which I also will do, you will need to swap out the front rotor and caliper adapter back to stock when changing wheels (about 15 min additional work per wheel, no need to open the brake circuit or bleed the brakes; it is plug and play). The rear can stay the same in winter as in summer.

Mr747, you are right, it all starts with whether you want bigger brakes or not. If you do not need it then stock brakes are not bad actually.
If you want to size up to BS dimensions then you need rear calipers (about 950 among friends) and front adapters. And custom rear rotors with the special hat.
With the discount that means that after all that the larger RB rotors are actually cheaper than the smaller Girodisc ones. That's at least how I talk myself into it. LOL

But they are a heck of a lot more expensive than just keeping the stock ones..... haha

Btw, no picture of the front rotor, I guess, because they are SHIPPED!

Wobble, will I be able to put my 18" rims on the back with my drag radials for drag racing? My understanding is that I'll be able to.... but I could be wrong?
