Is anyone running the Alcon big 412mm set up from LM motors.

Its expensive but im running over a 1000hp with only uprated pads and slotted discs. They are ok,but not inspiring with that power.

Cant stretch to the ceramics,but just after some feedback on the Alcons.

Many thanks

I hade them put on mine around 6 weeks ago.

The feel is a little softer due to the increased diameter brake lines, but you soon get used to the feel. Stopping power is epic and feels very balanced; doesnt feel over braked on the front when braking hard from high speed and general braking around town feels normal. I dont get any squeal and braking from cold is very good.

I've done around 1300 miles on them so far.

Sold my IX GT a couple of weeks ago on Collecting Cars, that was running 530bho and 500lbft from the 2 litre engine. I’ve still got an Evo II tucked away in my unit.
Thats good torque on a 2lt

I had a 2.3 stroker 564/515 silver 6. Sold her just over 2 years ago as Auto torque who specialise in restorations said it was going to cost between 12 and 15 k to repail the underside. Sold it with an honest advert for 9 k and 2 weeks later it was advertised for over 20k !!

Sorry to run away from the OP original post but I think the Audi/VW platform is now the best for 2.0 ltr/AWD/automatic. I have an s3 stage 1 and its a brilliant package.

BTW a blast from the past old map on my Subaru STI from Powerstation :-D 360 bhp :)
