Tarox Brake Kits

The TAR-OX 4-Pot caliper brake system is recommended for light cars under 700kg with wheels smaller than 14”. Particularly suitable for cars like the 'old' Mini Cooper.

Fitting a TAR-OX upgrade kit will give you amazing braking performance and total confidence. By matching six piston calipers to the discs, problems such as disc failure, deformation and vibration are eliminated. TAR-OX offer a variety of calipers to suit various applications and customer requirements. The diameter of the pistons in the calipers are specific to each application to take into account the car's master cylinder. Each kit contains 2 six pistons brake calipers, 2 brake discs including alloy bells, 2 adaptor clamps, 1 set of brake pads and 1 set of brake lines. The conversion kits are available with the spiral grooved F2000 discs as standard or with Sport Japan Plus or D95 discs as an option.

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.

TAR-OX are the only manufacturer in the world to offer a TEN pot caliper for road and track day use. By matching 10 piston calipers to the discs, you achieve:

• More evenly distributed pressure on the pads
• Better cooling action of the pads, because of more airflow behind the pad's metal support
• Less stress factor on the caliper itself
• More clamping action resulting in more braking power due to the presence of more pistons
• Firmer pedal

Each kit contains 2 ten-piston brake calipers, 2 brake discs including alloy bells, 2 adaptor clamps, 1 set of brake pads and 1 set of brake lines. The conversion kits are available with the spiral grooved F2000 discs as standard or with Sport Japan Plus or D95 discs as an option. For top end performance, ten pot brake conversion kits are also available with Metal/Ceramic discs.
