New Brake Set-up

[Vertigo Performance]

We were out today testing our new brake set up and it worked great..
In the next few weeks we should have more details, all we can say now is if contact patch is what you want then contact patch is what you will get.

[mradlin]

Sounds good Clayton!! Let us all know how it works out!!

[Vertigo Performance]

We have had some more run time on our new brake set and it is proving to be much better than our original

Retail price should run about $24.95

[mradlin]

I'm looking forward to getting these for my baja!!

[Doctor RC]

Also put me down for a set. With my driving I dont use them often but when I do I need them to work well. Thanks VP for all your great parts

[fergus]

got any pics of this new set up clayton?

[VertigoPerformance]

Fergus, we don't. We are not releasing any photos until testing is complete.

[Vertigo Performance]

New brake upgrade is looking very good.. We still have some testing to do which we are in the process of of completing, we want to make sure the product is going to deliver.

As early suggested retail will be $24.95

Anyone running the Vertigo Carbon brakes will be able to upgrade to the new setup for $10.00 including shipping. The upgrade will not be available through dealers.

[hndaman1]

[Vertigo Performance]

We are really short on supply for about 2 weeks (want to make sure dealers get stock) but we can pull some out for you if you like.

What do you run for a brake now?

[Vertigo Performance]

Stocker with the fuel line mod it is working pretty good..

[Doctor RC]

hndaman1 I was using the same setup once than went the VP brake pads when they came available and now I have been using this setup for some time and wow. You will wonder how the Baja ever stopped before.

I have to admit it: IT LOOKS FREAKING NICE!! Love the triple break idea!

[mradlin]

If you ask me it works even better than it looks! :D

[VertigoPerformance]

So what are you saying? It is fat?

[Carnivore]

This is one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments.. :D Simple, beautiful and people can use most of their existing parts. And the price is reasonable. Nice.

[VertigoPerformance]

Yes it is one of those moments, so simple we overlooked it,
Dumb Canadian I should be :b:ned

[fergus]

yea these brakes rock

when i first got them i thought. wtf? how can that make a huge diffrence? i still dont know lol but is does

[hndaman1]

Ok How do you install them?I recieved my 3 pads today in the mail but no instructions.....please help me....

[mradlin]

Ok. I'll take a try at this...remove pads, disks and purple spacer between disks. When installing don't use the center purple piece. The two disks float inbetween the pads. It'll look like this when done.

Sorry, preproduction brakes are shipped as is and I try to email the new owners instructions.

Remove stock brake including discs, spacer and steel plates.
Reinstall discs only
Then on the Caliper install 2 shims, 3 pads and the opposite brake caliper.
Slip in over the discs and check for adjustment, you may need more or less shims.

I knew I forgot something. Thanks Clayton.

[hndaman1]

So do you still make the Billet brake pshoes/pad or whatever that are called these days:D I think that would be the icing on the cake for this mod. don't ya think?

[Vertigo Performance]

In order to make billet brake shoes we would need to mill away almost half the braking material.

Billet brake shoes, nearly half the braking surface as stock
3 Pad system = Double the braking surface

True the servo will make a difference but if you compare a billet pad with a 3 shoe system there is 4 times the braking surface using a 3 shoe.

[hndaman1]

I meant the BRAKE CALIPER my bad......Iwill be getting one of these after the garage sale on Sat...:) But I will get mine directyly from you or Python...

[Vertigo Performance]

Yes we still make the Caliper.. There is another company who makes them out of bar stock non anodized for about $5 cheaper if you want to save some money, looks like an unfinished version of ours.

[hndaman1]

I might as well have everything match fromt he same co.if you know what I mean....:D
