The
TAR-OX 8 pot kits and 12 pot kits are available for performance
cars fitted with at least 18 wheels. Larger wheel diameters
(18+) allow larger discs (340mm-360mm diameter) to be
fitted, but larger cast discs will also be heavier. The solution
is to decrease the braking surface area of the discs as much
as possible and mount it on a bigger light alloy hub. The
B350 8/12 pot caliper makes this possible by using smaller
multiple pistons to spread the pressure area around the outer
circumference of the discs so that much of the centre portion
of the discs can be removed.The B350 8/12 pot caliper does
the same job as a massive conventional caliper would but without
the weight penalty of a massive disc to go with it.
In conventional calipers this size pad wear would become
a problem as one edge would wear more than the other. The
advantage of the B350 caliper is that by using four pads per
caliper and 4/6 pots per pair of pads the pressure is much
more evenly applied. Using 4/6 pots per pair of pads also
allows different bore sizes to be used to even out wear characteristics.
Each kit contains 2 eight-piston brake calipers, 2 brake
discs including alloy bells, 2 adaptor clamps, 1 set of brake
pads and 1 set of brake lines
The kits are available with the spiral grooved F2000
discs as standard or with Sport
Japan Plus or D95 discs.
For top end performance, eight pot brake conversion kits are
also available with Metal/Ceramic discs.
