NB brake upgrade on NA6 - Wheel/Caliper clearance

all you really need is the caliper bracket... everything else you can either modify (rotor cover) or buy new at the local sprints (rotors, pads etc).

Yep, they bolt straight on, no further changes needed. Just fit and go

While you're at it grease the slider pins ;) Speed bleeders are also great if you plan to do regular track work.

Regie, it's definitely on the agenda! There are a few of us thinking of heading up early next year. I struggled to get a feel for the track the only time I went there, so really want to have another crack

I'm now looking into NB8b brakes
I've got 16 inch. 42 offset I believe. I don't think it'll be a problem with size.
would there be any problems I may encounter? Someone mentioned caliper brackets..
Ill also be doing track work so I will look into speed bleeders as well.

Excuse my ignorance but what are speed bleeders?

I also want to upgrage my brakes but have no issue with my current brakes. The only difference is that I run TWR pads which in my opinion are awesome and cheap. Rare to use both of these words in the same sentence. This set up is on a race car and can easily do 10 - 12 laps with no fade. The only fading comes from the driver.
