Brake replacement & Upgrades
Brake Options
So, you’ve had a remap, had an increase in your vehicle’s performance and handling. Maybe you’ve had a significant increase in your BHP or Torque. Awesome! But now how are your vehicle’s standard brakes going to react to that increase…with difficulty is the answer!
The same can be seen with towing and off-roading, though the vehicle might be factory built as a 4×4 or specifically marketed for agricultural work or as a work horse for construction, towing or off roading. It doesn’t mean the manufacturer has built it for these capabilities!
This is where upgrading your brakes is essential and well worth the outlay. Performance is a high hard pressed to be matched, but only when it’s backed by safety! Knowing your vehicle has the uprated brakes to match the workload you desire; means not only do you know they’re safe and have the power and capability to stop your vehicle. But on performance cars it gives you the peace of mind that you need to really push yourself and your car to it’s limits and really have some fun. Knowing the handling and response is there exactly when you need it!
And for those workhorse vehicles, having the uprated brakes gives you the reliability you want to ensure it can handle the pressures you’re asking it. Knowing you can utilise the full capabilities of increased weights in towing whether commercially or for pleasure towing your caravan, kit car, or jet ski.
Why should i upgrade my brakes?
Increasing the demands on your brakes from a boost in performance or carrying additional weight means your brakes are going to generate more heat than standard brakes can cope with. Reducing the amount of safe usage time on standard fitted brakes. Upgrading your brakes helps your vehicle to be more efficient and effective, with a longer work life.
Also, especially for those with a relatively open set of wheels, showing off a set of big brake calipers or upgraded brake discs speaks to petrolhead inside us and brings bragging rights to boot! Glimpsing them when you’re pulled up to refuel, you get that little smug smile, and you can see the appreciation of other petrol heads when they’re also checking out what your car is rocking! Nothing beats that, which is why here at Elite Performance Tuning we know it can be the small details that are often overlooked which can make a vehicle go from just a car or workhorse to a beloved family member that makes you smile just seeing it on the drive, never mind when you actually get in and drive. Falling in love with them all over again is our aim!
