• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I am wondering what brake disc to use.

I found 3 types of brake discs for me.... (RTL 2022)

WP PRO Brake disc + Caliper 6p

This time my friend installed the WP Pro brake system. Very good but too expensive..
Rather than racing, I travel more often on long distance trips and run at an average speed of 100km/h. I'm wondering which one is right for me. :opps::opps::opps::opps::opps:
 
If you're not in the mountains, and running down any steep slopes, I would say the EBC would be good enough. If you do run the hills and a lot of twisty, you may want those race brakes, less chance of brake fade and warped rotors. Good Luck
 
Martin, from Slovakia and owner of Tours on Three has a killer brake set that would be my first choice, but is expensive. He has videos on his website discussing it.

He also sells a front spring upgrade, a very nice adjustable front swaybar, and possibly is still selling or plans to sell upgraded Spyder shocks.

He is also a paid advertiser here and listed on the homepage if you need to find him.

I need to think about EBC brakes... There are a lot of winding roads in Korea, but I don't enjoy racing that much...

We received the floating rotors from MTV for our RT's and will try to get them mounted this weekend, ride review to follow weather permitting. Not really sure why BRP doesn't have a floating rotor or floating caliper on the Spyders.

Money!!!! And they would have to think out of the box. Look at how long it took them to change the body style from the first style!

The Oem Brembo front calipers are a four piston design. Two piston per each surface of the disc. This allows the brake linings to center as needed with use.
The floating disc, has advantages to lessen permanent warping and more. The floating disc is not to allow or take the place of a rigid mounted caliper, there is not enough float in the disc to allow that.

If and when our front discs warp or become unservicable, most likely I will purchase and install a pair of floating discs as replacements.
