Why We Swapped The Brakes On Our Rally Car

Sometimes there are parts that you like, sometimes there are parts that you really want, and sometimes you are better off using parts that are compatible with the rest of your race team. Follow along as Jarred shows how we swap brakes step by step.

Jarred is also a top notch driving instructor!

Love ur channel and makes me want to do real rally
Maybe one day I will stop playing a sim and do this.
Please keep sharing the car build

What pads are you using? both with the m-sport setup and the new.

Can you link to the brake setup?

We go through Thompson Racing Fabrication for this setup: thompsonracingfabrication.com/

Seems like they are using parts of the Wilwood BBK, namely the rotors, but paired with a different caliper.
They mentionned using the Focus SVT Rotors upfront. Those are 24 mm (0.91in) thick. If you look at the before/after shot inside the wheel well, the new rotors seem thinner. My estimation is that they are using 20.5mm (0.81in) rotors. Only difference from the BBK kit, is that they are not using rotors that are drilled. They are also (maybe) using different size rotors to fit the 15in rally wheels.
Second is the calipers. They are the Billet Narrow Dynalite Radial Mount calipers. They are compatible with 0.81in rotors and come in 4.12in^2 piston area, which is pretty close to the 3.55in^2 of the original ST piston area. In the video, the pistons look pretty big, so they possibly used the 4.80in^2 piston area calipers.
Only thing they actually need to fabricate for this (assuming my above hypothesis is correct) is the caliper adaptors (the part he torque-wrenched on the knuckle of the car). This would need to be custom machined for this use-case.
All in all, this seems to be a good strategy. 260$ MSRP calipers with rotor consumables at 156$ per disc (if using the GT36 rotors).
Good luck!
