Any big breaks availiable for S65?

Seriously?

how much bigger could you possibly want them?

They are already 15.4". That is about as big as it gets boss.

^^ Agreed.

But I think Renntech makes a 16.2" for $8000 if you just have to have something bigger..

He did say big breaks.

I skrewd up breaks on one side and instead of beeing out for $1600 for rotor and mounting brakets and later on spend another $900 for a new rotor plus soon to be raplaced pads I might use that $$$ toards something better. To be honest - not crazy about a current breaks on it - a bit too mushy and not as strong as the best aftermarkets go. AP Racing 8 cal on my infinity Q56 which wheights 1400 lbs more bring it to faster stop by good 10% or so and feel much better. Rotoras and Brembos GT on my E55 do MUCH better job then the stock breaks on S65.
So instead of Spending $2800 on OEM replacment or so - rather use this money towards a big break kit at least for fronts. Blue Break liquid and steel break lines should round breaking system off quite nicely

What are Breaks? & better yet...Breaking system?? (7) times in this post alone

You must mean BRAKES sorry this is funny...

I also think EuroTeck makes big brake kits as well... 12 Piston Calipers would be bad azz!

Rotora makes a BBK for the s65 they are 12 piston 16" rotor. Had the same setup on my escalade, they are amazing brakes.

I'm seriosly considering Rotora. $4Kk 12 pistons. Wonder how good are they. Theyy do require a 20" rims but looks like Rotora can custom make them with a 15" rotor

14 total. Impressive.

I thought this was true until I saw that Audi offer 16 1/2inch ceramics in europe...

if you can invoke the ABS with the stock brakes, you don't need bigger brakes.

I don't think bigger brakes are the answer here.

^^^^^

Agreed, pads make a huge difference. Unless your tracking the thing bigger brakes aren't gonna do much in most cases and again, track experience says pads are the way to go.

Part of this thread is pretty funny that it makes me want to take a brake from reading it. LOL!

LOL @ Sean's comment.

Trust me they are amazing, i had them on 26" rims too and they gave me incredible stopping power. Im sure Rotora can make an 8 piston 15" rotor system too for your S65.

I have no issue with the braking power of my car...

I bet, Dont even know why you would even wanna change the brakes on the S65.

Two words. Late braking. Do it once into a tight turn and you will wish for larger brakes(breaks). I have Rotora 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rears on my wife's 335 and they are unbelievable. I have heard that the 12 pistons do flex a bit, but I have no experience of that first hand.

We have the 12 piston 16" setup on our project BMW



Let me know if you need anymore information.

The stock s65 will late brake all day until you boil the snot out of the fluid.

Upgrade to stainless lines (if it doesn't have them already), some more aggressive pads, and put some castrol SRF fluid in there, and you should be just fine on the stock set up.

26" rims? H2?

escalade

***** envy!

Bentley Speed has optional ceramics of that size available in US market since 2008.
