Racing Brake CCB install and review

[Ghost410]

If these fit with SW2s, it would be perfect. A TA1.0 with these brakes!

Thanks! From what I have been able to gather from other member posts, the weights are similar,
ACR Front Disc: 13 lbs
RB Front Disc: 13 lbs
ACR Front Caliper: 14.4 lbs
RB Front Caliper: 12.9 lbs (about 1.5 lbs lighter)

ACR Rear disk: 10.5 lbs
RB Rear disk: 10.65 lbs
ACR Rear Caliper: 9 lbs
RB Rear Caliper: 9.55 lbs (about 0.55 lbs heavier)

When you swap to factory ACR brakes, you also have to change the front knuckles which weigh more. I can't remember off hand but might have been as much as 4 lbs a side.

Thanks! Haha as an engineer and a racer I know the frustration. Is a post without weights really a post?

Man such great info.

It’s posts like this that makes the internet have value beyond porn.

Yeah... I promised myself not to go crazy on the engine with this car so I found other avenues lol. The bigger forgelines added a little weight in the front and saved some in the back. This is my street setup, so I was more focused on the tires I could run.

Front with tires mounted:
Stock OEM Venom (18x10.5 , 295/30R18): 49.2 lbs
VX-6 Forglines (19x11, 295/30R19): 53.55 lbs (4.35lbs more)

Rear with tires mounted:
Stock Venom (19x13 , 355/30R19): 64 lbs
Forgelines (20x13 , 345/30R20): 62.8 lbs (1.2 lbs less)

I noticed you are in PNW, just so you know, I believe there is still a track day at ORP (Nov 7th-8th) I will most likely be there first day, wanted to let you know for your testing...

Thank you for the heads up! Already have a rallycross event that weekend, but will keep my eyes open. Usually try to stick around Pacific, the Ridge or PIR for travel convenience. I am sure I'll see you at one or the other!

That would be perfect...Though it seems no luck here.

Messaged with RB and dug through some old forum posts,

It seems the biggest that they could fit under the SW2s was a 370 mm disc with stock calipers. With the CCB kit being 380mm and a larger caliper, clearance is a no go.

I think only the VE BBK has been able to achieve the clearance. From what I can remember, they even used thinner brake pads to gain clearance (can anyone verify this?)

Sounds good, I usually prefer Ridge but no dates are announced as of yet for November. I have seen many cars wrecked in Pacific so I usually go there with lower hp cars

The VE BBK kit doesn't leave much room between the front caliper and inner barrel of the SW2.

As for the "thinner brake pads" I assume you're referring the radial depth of the pad, which is 9mm less compared to the stock TA pad(D1001).

Stoptech pad dimensions.

TA Pads D1001:

The 9mm lost in radial-depth you get back in the overall pad length.
