Finally my new toy arrived today.

Ohlins DFV.

Time for new installation together with:
Clutch - Exedy Compe-R Twin carbon c
Front brakes- 6pot big brakes conversion(from Porsche Turbo 997)
rear brakes- 4pot Brembos( from Aston Martin DB9)
Handbrake calipers- Brembo handbrake calipers from Lambor. Gallardo
Disks- Brembo (from Porsche 997 turbo front and rear).

And some photos of them(without the handbrake calipers and front rotor).

Ohlins DFV is TOP quality.. I had HKS Hyper, HKS hipermax III, Tein mono flex and Cusco but Ohlin's quality is ...... far away from them.








Front calipers. The pc screen behind is 20"!!!Huge calipers but still light(aluminum monoblock)


Front and rear(rear no painted yet)




Rear set up. No photos of the handbrake





Exedy Compe-r twin carbon


Hope to install everything in a couple of weeks..

 

Mmmmmmmm

Can't wait to see them installed. Those brakes look way bigger... I never realized it was that much different. That is the GT kit, right?

Used? Mind sharing what you paid?

 

awesome toys, would be greatly appreciated if you posted some feedback after installing, mainly on the DFVs.

 

Over $10k worth of goodies right there

Awesome clutch, you're going to love it.... the 13B revs like a sport bike in neutral with that sucker

 

Thanks for the good words.

So lets say..rotors are new, Calipers rear are slightly used, I am allready using he front setup(bought it new), but i took it off now for a repaint. Stoping power is HUGE...with just the front brake kit. I will install the rear as well and i will share the feeling.
Ohlins are brand new and rear habdbrake calipers are new also.

Rear brake kit(calipers, 997 rotors,handbrake calipers, adapters-work .etc) costs me about 4000$. Just the handbrake caliper with the adapter costs about 2600$ from RHD REVOLUTION Brembo Rear Parking Brake Kit Mazda RX-7 FD3S.


So i took it direct from Lamborghini Hellas for about half the price!!!
Ohlins took from my wallet about 3000$,
Have paid to Porsche Greece, for front set up and rear rotors about 4500$.
Another 1000$ for Aston Martin calipers.
and about 2000$ for exedy clutch (used)(with taxes and custom fees)

So its about 10 grand worth of money.

Goodfella you are right again!!!!

 

The Goodfella is always right!

 

+1, I love my clutch. Just make sure you warm it up before you drive aggressively.

 

Are you having custom brackets made to fit the front/rear calipers?

 

OMG I feel like an idiot. I should actually read your post instead of just drooling over the pics and posting. You gave enough info in tyour first post to make it painfully obvious that this has nothing to do with the FD GT kit.

 

Somebody visited the slots recently!!! ahhaha Nice parts, I really love the Ohlins.

 

looking forward to seeing pics of all the goodies installed

 

Unfortunately no slots money!!!
Money came from the job bonus for 2012:$
Hope the bonus for 2013 will fund part of the 20b conversion!

 

Yes Bryan, custom bracket for the three pairs of calipers

 

Love it, you picked all the top shelf brands... at this rate, you're going to have to figure out how to install an Akrapovic Titanium exhaust

 

Hmm...nice idea!! i will figure out something

 

Definitely want to see this brake setup installed

El Oh El at all you Goodfella fanboys

 

Almost done..Front coilover installed.
I have finish with Exedy carbon clutch but unfortunately i did not get any pictures.
Hope to post some more with the rear brake set up in the weekend.

 

safe to assume you track your car?

 

Either that or it's woefully overbuilt.

 

I am doing little track miles,85% hard street driving 15% track

 

Thanks Gmonsen. Once i put a few miles no them i will share the feeling with street and track use.
Still waiting the rear adaptors for the handbrake calipers to test the car.

 

For 11k front and rear they're very comfortable on the street, not even a hint of the bone rattling ride quality normally associated with with coilovers with high spring rates. The ride quality relies a lot on the dampening. You buy a cheap pair of coilovers with horrible dampening you'll feel everything. When it comes to suspension you get what you pay for. The premium price for Ohlins is well worth it.

Everything is done so installation of rear brake only needed. Hope fully to test everything next weekend






More photos prior to installation will be posted

 

nice setup on the brakes
but what are the spec on both front and rare brakes, P.C.D for the hub hat?

 

What is the p.c.d??
Front disk is oem from porsche 997 turbo,i just drilled new holes to the porsche hat. New custom hat for rear disk,i have no specs from the workshop to share:-\
