My internal organs are quivering with fear.

$8000 brakes are you joking lmao I was pissed off mine cost me $400 + the cost for them to put it on my car = $600.00
No way I would be able to but a nice used car for the price of them brakes

But i do like the Pic lol

For formality sake, they lose points for not displaying the actual Dominos Brooklyn-style pizza which is apparently two inches smaller than the $7,995 brakes

They lose even more points for using Domino's as representative of "pizza". A picture of a giant cow manure "crust", flecked with undigested hay "toppings", would have served just as well.

the brakes probably taste better than dominos...

I hear the RENNtech brakes will stop your car faster than Domino's Pizza will stop up your digestive tract.

who needs brakes in the u.s.?

@staircar: i second that!

Hmmm... Will 16.2" brakes really stop a car faster than 13.2" brakes? At this level, wouldn't your limiting factor be traction and pad material rather than rotor size? They'll dissipate heat faster, I'm sure, but 13.2" brakes probably already do a hell of a good job at that. It's probably not going out a limb to say this is $7,995 worth of poser hardware. Better than a 47" fold-out screen in the trunk, but still in the same game.

FINALLY!!! Brakes suitable for Donkey Kong...

Go Forth and Ride Dirty

Holy rotational inertia!

"lightweight" huh? I'm sure steel is lightweight.

@dculberson: I know quite a few people who have retrofit Audi A8 brakes onto their Passats (couple inches larger), and most insist it provides better stopping power.

Each revolution of the wheel now provides more brake contact with the pad, so theoretically it should work well.

But lots of others insist that the modest improvement in stopping is more than overcome by the extra rotational inertia and unsprung weight (both bad). Heat dissipation excepted, it's better to have smaller discs and better calipers/pads, rather than larger discs and mediocre calipers/pads.

Brakes are for people who can't steer.

For 8000 smackers, those pizza brakes better be extra gouda!

@Novaload: Steering wheels are for people who can't jump.

@dculberson: I agree these are stupid in fact it will probably make your performance worse. You are now adding rotating mass which makes acceleration, deceleration and cornering much worse. The tires are the limiting factor here.

So much for unsprung weight. I guess I'd rather corner like a bat out of hell than look good sitting still.

Don't even get me started on 4-inch exhaust pipes and their effect on intake velocity.

Remember, it all looks the same going a buck-fifty.

When you gotta big load

you gotta have big brakes.

Nit Pic Police: The presser says 8 pistons, not 6.

For $7,995 that better be one f**king tasty pizza.

What? Oh, never mind. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

$8000 for brakes. I've owned a bunch of used vehicles and all but 2 added up only came to $7240. The other 2, my motorcycle and RV came to $6700. And they all stopped just fine!

Anything Dominos calls pizza ≠ actual pizza!

This is proper pizza, actually made in Brooklyn:

@Triborough: did you get some lawn clippings on that?

And what happened to the toppings? Pizza ain't pizza without meat or cheese. So the moral is: don't diss on Dominos without showing some legitimate!

@Triborough: whatever, now here's a real pizza:

Nevermind that I drive and make pizza for Dominos...this seems excessive, if you can lock up the wheels then your limiting factor is tire adhesion.

Dammit! Now I have to drive all the way into town get a few slices :-/

I've never been able to understand BBK pricing. How can it cost ~$3K for 13.5" 6 piston front brakes and rotors?

30 minutes or it's free?

I'll take the pizza first,followed by the brakes.

@Ben Wojdyla: You've been tricked, that's a casserole.

@Triborough: Hey, what pizza place is that?

So, they're using Dominos pizzas as brake rotors? Won't all that grease have a negative impact on friction?

@Triborough: it looks beautiful...

out here in CA all we have are imitators.

That is why I have to get my pizza dough from Trader Joes and make it myself!

those are ridiculous brakes.. seriously, if you gotta get them that big you better be runnig some fucking HHOOOOOOTTTTTT laps!

I stop my Impala just fine with front 11" rotors.... and that's got a good ton on anything renntech builds...

@Ben Wojdyla: Pizza Papalis?

@50yardAsh: Well, my point is the returns would rapidly diminish. Passats probably aren't running 13" rotors factory, right?

Once you're able to (a) lock up your tires with your brakes, and (b) cool your brakes quickly enough during a hot lap, you've got big enough brakes. And actually (b) would probably be better helped with some ducting rather than larger rotors. (Once you've got 12-13" rotors, that is...)

I needed brakes on my Miata, and thought about getting the Flyin' Miata big brake kit. I justified and rationalized myself to the brink, then realized that I could already do a really impressive 4-wheel skid from almost any speed. I decided that the $1200 was much better spent on an actual performance boost rather than just prettying up the space behind my wheels.

Is this gridskipper?

@PWND БЯд╒╒ ®: If you live near or are visiting SF, check out Little Star Pizza...Apparently it's the only pizza east-coasters will actually say is good...of course not as good as the can get back home...

@drewheyman: That is fresh basil.

@Ben Wojdyla: That is not pizza, that looks like some sort of tomato pie/soup hybrid. I rather have a square slice made by Dom.

@voodoojoo: DiFara, on Avenue J.

@PWND БЯд╒╒ ®: It is beautiful and the price is now $4, but still worth the schlep out to Midwood.

@boosted-lego-wagon: And jumping is for people who can't fly :D

Anyway, those brakes are scary.
