These should be 8 pot front and 6 pot rear, respectively.

With a pair of 18x8.5 38 offset work meister s1 3pc wheels and the endless front and rear brake setup, you would be the hog with the big nuts

I hope everyone understands that more pistons does not equal better.
Since I already mentioned caliper stiffness here, a 4-pot is pretty much always going to be stiffer than a 6 or more piston caliper. The main benefit for going to more pistons is to have a longer and larger pad, which might last longer, without uneven wear. Anything more than 6 is pretty silly IMO. |

until you get into silly aero and alms rubber, you won't need more pad than a 4 pot could handle anyway.

Exactly. When you're Jackie f***in' Ickx driving this car in spec racing,you can look at brakes like these. Until then, the most I would do is a 4pot front, 2pot rear setup through Wilwood, which would probably cost ~$2500. Otherwise, upgraded pads, rotors, fluid and lines will be more than enough.

Something like this, found on the Stillen site makes a lot of sense, I can get a Ferodo DS2500 pad for it too.
STILLEN is proud to announce the release of the AP RACING 4 Piston and 6 Piston Big Brake Kit for the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ. The 4 Pisont front kit under part number AP3120 uses a 330x28mm two piece disc and you have the option of getting either crossed drilled and slotted or just Slotted. You also have 2 color options when it comes to the 4 piston caliper: Red, or Black will look really nice in the wheel well of any BRZ / FR-S. RED BLACK If you’re looking for the next level of braking performance we also offer the AP6100 6 Piston kit. The AP6100 kit uses the AP RACING 6 piston caliper with larger 355x32mm two piece discs. You also have the option of three different Caliper colors, and two rotor styles. As you can see, we also offer the Slotted and Drilled, or just Slotted rotor options for the AP 6100 brake kit rotors. Both of these AP RACING kits bolt up to the factory locations and are designed to work well with the factory ABS systems and brake master cylinder. They also feature dust seals over each caliper piston to ensure reliability and high performance for as long as you own your vehicle. |

Mmmm, AP Racing.... wanted these for my MR2 but a front kit was more than twice what a Wilwood kit cost, and I don't need them that badly.

Why all the hate? Anyone own an Endless setup before? AP? Alcon? If you like something and can afford it, great. While i don't think everyone with an fr-s needs a kit like these, they are useful for a machine that sees frequent track use.
If you don't think the quality is there, or your wallet/wife doesn't allow it, then move on. Endless doesn't care if you like them on the interwebs anyway. |

i think 12k for BBK is ridiculous too, but this is endless' full blown racing model, and is priced similar to brembo's GT-R series. the brembo GT-Rs are 8000 just for the front, and another 8000 for the rears. so for 16k, the brembos for all four wheels are 4k more than the endless racing setup.
both brembo and endless have more regular for street use BBKs at more reasonable (but still expensive) prices. these endless racing and brembo GT-R kits are for full blown race cars with ridiculous budgets. Last edited by cyde01; 07-17-2012 at 04:46 PM. |

This is the full blown huge budget motorsport race team kit. You can get a street/HPDE kit for MUCH LESS (although still very pricey) I almost feel like this and the Brembo race caliper is the same. They look almost identical. |

Yeah, but with the whole "limited to 86 sets only" thing it seems to be marketed more toward show cars and jdm fan bois than actual racing.
