Default Ceika BBK

Hello,

I'm interested in upgrading my brakes on my 2018 RC350 F Sport AWD. The brakes I'm interested in are 356mm Ceika Brakes with 8 piston pots. I also have a set of Niche Vice wheels. Does anyone know if they will work? Thanks, Craig

I would not get some off brand brakes, the braking system is one of the most important parts of a car. Save your money and buy from a reputable company. I have read a lot of bad reviews on those Chinese brakes. But in the end it’s your money and life. Just my 2 cents.

Maybe try RRracing I hear those are pretty affordable or Willwood brakes.

We have APG big brake kit, or Stoptechs but they're on the higher $$..

Hey Josh,

What would be the price for your set-up with red calipers?

Thanks,
Craig

May I ask why you want to upgrade your brakes?

If it's just the color, maybe start with caliper paint and drilled or slotted rotors?

If it's not stopping sufficiently then step up with a more aggressive pad compound and upgraded fluid.

If you're taking your car on track or regularly doing car shows, a big brake might be useful but there are smaller, much less expensive steps you can take to accomplish most of your goals. This advice is coming from someone who has upgraded brakes multiple times.

I have the RR Racing BBK....it is a rebranded Wilwood kit. They are great and not too expensive when compared to Brembo or Stoptech.
