Anyone tried one of the TEROX brake kits from the PES site? How well do they work?

Default I've got 'em

Work great. Although I've never run those mighty alcons people swear by. Still, for my driving level they are much more brake than I need. In my time at T'hill I really got them hot and my car always stopped well with no fade over the day. More serious people might say stuff about how only the top alcons are what you want pulling down from 140 mph. And that may be, but in my never faster than 105-110 at t'hill they worked great.

The look good too.

Complaints: a bit loud, even with the street pads there is some noise. Not so much when stopping as when just rolling again after a really hot stop. Interestingly you can't hear it outside the car. Nothing rediculous.

Very dusty. What do you expect...

SS brake lines that came with it were a bit too long and a hassle to route so they never rubbed. Minor, unless you screw up and let them rum your prop-shaft.

Thanks. I'm probably like you and don't need an all out race brake kit anyway.

Default I have them.

My thoughts pretty much echo zain's, and they do produce some dust. But they are excellent for stopping quickly. My experience has all been street and highway driving, no racing. They require an 18" wheel at minimum.

Default mmm. I've got mine under 17" AVUS wheels from an S4

You just have to be sure to use the very low profile balancing weights - or they don't stay on long...

No prices on the PES site. What does a front set-up run?
