Well at this point I'l go for what ever I can get for the least amount of money. I've already spent 3 grand on these brakes


I'm gonna go compare the calipers at gary's place this afternoon and I'l see what the difference is.

yea think your best bet is to change the callipers.

Those power brakes are really good discs, I have the same ones. Did you buy the pads as well?

Is really a humongous difference from the stock brakes!

Ok, so I went to go and compare calipers at Gary's and we found them to be different.

You can see the "torque member" thing is bigger on the caliper on the right. There doesn't seem to be much else different.


If the power brakes make such a big difference compared to the 280mm stock brakes them it should be a massive difference of me now that I'm used the the tiny 260mm brakes

I bought those calipers off gary so I'm all sorted now. Will try fit them 2moro.

do powerbrake do kits for the s13?

Yup, they have for the front.
Have had the discs for a while now on my S13

"Discs and pads kit", recommend getting the pads in conjunction with the discs.
They have really good service as well!

Ya, they have a pro street kit for the S13 but they don't make a die hard kit as of yet. They seems really good quality and I've only heard good things. I'm expecting a big difference when I finish fitting the kit.

I argee, their service is good. When I mailed the guy about the problem with the size of the disk yesterday. By the end og the day he had already organized for the new smaller disks to be sent down. When I told him I'd managed to get the bigger calipers he had to phone and cancel the delivery of the smaller disk, coz they were already on their way Thats the kind of service i like

The Powerbrake option is one of the better ones around, unless you wanna go much bigger with the Z32 option, etc, etc...

I fitted mine on Saturday past... Took all of 2 hours, including replacing 2 wheel studs, chatting and helping out assembling VC's SR and the occassional Heineken in between...

I'm still bedding them in, and have to take it easy for the first 300km's. I can already feel the difference that these disks and pads make...

Also bear in mind that Powerbrake are the official suppliers to Ferrari Challenge cars...

When I phoned Clive he said that they don't make a die hard kit at this time for the S13. So I don't know how you guys got die hard kits. Maybe they stopped making them...

O right,Clive mentioned I was buying the last of something or other, guess that was what he meant.
