Yep, the billet calipers are pure porn, that's what I've got on my T8.

The best place - bar none - to get them is

http://www.gprdirect.com/epages/GPRD...0/Catalog/1227

You'll get the best deal at GPR, sound blokes all round. The ones to have are top row far right, second row far left.

But. There's no denying it, the calipers thenselves are pricey, even from GPR. Best part of £600 for the pair once you've got the required brake pads (and after all, the best calipers in the world ain't much use without pads)

My 888 SP2 brakes are standard Black brembo calipers, SS lines, and a remote reservoir M/C (some old thing that was on there when I bought it). Not hugely powerful immediately, and take a little while to warm up (cast iron disks ?) but subtly effective. Doesn't have the immediate bite of my 750SS, but those are a little snatchy at slow speeds. Will the standard Brembo Gold calipers of the 750SS fit the 888 I wonder ?

I've got the standard setup on my SP3, they're OK for me. If you have a look on the Yahoo 851/888 web site, there were some interesting posts by Mike Cecchini about the merits (and otherwise) of different friction materials. Let me know if you need the link.

1994 - I think it's fully standard and original (and up for sale if anyone's interested !)
