I think you'll struggle to buy one below £450 based on my recent experience. GPR will be very near the RRP. The best I found was a site in the US, can't remember the address, though.

Still 'kin expensive tho!

I have an AP version with twin inputs if you are interested Loony. U2U if you are with you mail address and I'll send pix. Not exactly what you looking for but a whole shed load cheaper than what you are after.

[loony888]

thanks for the replys guys, motowheels in the U.S is probably the cheapest, and harris is probably the cheapest so far in the U.K. the cost of the item is only half the battle, living here the freight is a killer and customs fees hurt too. i guess that's why resellers stick it to us!!

As already quoted GPR are the kiddies for all things Brembo in the UK.

Their home page is http://www.gprdirect.com

And the rear caliper you want is on -

Mind you, they're bloody expensive here as well as in Oz

[loony888]

outstanding!! top work guys, that has all been very helpful, and yeah they're bloody expensive everywhere. but if i can save the freight and customs charges by paying retail in the U.K i'm in front.

That's shite! False advertising that is. Tell 'em!

[loony888]

o.k, got an AP Racing 2 piston rear caliper with pads delivered for about 280 pounds. lot more reasonable than the brembo, granted, it doesn't have titanium pistons so i'm gonna be .000003 of a second slower past the coffee shop!!! still a very nice caliper and i must say thanks to yeti for reminding me of AP.

If you're coming all the way to England from Oz, you might as well do the short hop to the IOM to watch the TT. As Television coverage in England of the TT is rather poor.:eureka:

rob, that's a mocchacino and a berry cheescake slice......you *******!

Does the caliper you bought fit??

Race calipers as far as I can see have 64mm mounts and Brembo standard road fitting is more like 84mm....

I also know that the Race caliper mount on the 916 series is designed to fit the big hub and the 200mm race disk.... road hub is smaller and road disc is 220mm...

So you end up changing the whole backend for a blink caliper. Oh well then you have a very blink backend though!!!

[loony888]

yeah, the std rotor is 245mm, i'm having one made in 220mm. the bracket has to be fabricated also, unfortunately the guy who's doing the fab work is kinda slow so it won't be done till after my hols. when it's fitted i'll post pics......and it WILL look bling!!:burn:
