Break Upgrade

[bertrand Stern]

I plan to upgrade the breaks of my roadster VIN 589 and would love some pointers to upgrade from the high performance breaks to a full 4 pot system. I have been considering the ones sold by seriously Lotus , but I am open to suggestions on the matter.

I think some people have explored doing 4 piston brakes befores, and it seems like it requires quite a few parts to be exchanged as well as reprogramming the ABS system for full braking power.

This is not meant to dissuade you from trying that option, just a word of caution. I believe some have attempted to use the big brake kit utilizing AP racing 4 Pistons in this thread: Roadster brake upgrade

As @MCroadster stated, changing to four pistons is more difficult to execute. Many have opted for improved rotors and pads from Titanium Dave’s rotor kit.

Can anyone talk me into spending this much on me rotors?

Hello all! I seem to have lost my passenger side rear brake pad and I need new rotors. I live near rainy Seattle and' Im looking forward to better initial breaking with new pads and rotors all around. I'm tempted by these rotors but they are expensive. Could they possibly be worth it...

I had my Medlock and Sons upgrade my brakes, rotors, and struts. No complaints! Info here
