Brake options for the MKIV

[jrohrig]

I'm still in the planning stage and am having a hard time figuring out exactly what my options are for brakes. I have decided that I am going with 15" wheels, which I know limits me a bit. The car is going to have about 450 horsepower and Ill be using it mostly as a weekend driver but I'm sure I'll eventually try autocross or some other track event. If this has already been discussed, I don't want to waste anyone's time, just point me in the right direction. Thanks

Your best bet IMO is to call Factory Five and talk about it with them. They can tell you what options they have. Could depend on other build choices you make, like rear suspension and which specific 15-inch wheels. Also, I know Gordon Levy offers a Wilwood package for 15-inch wheels. Don't know any details though.

I do have packages that fit 15" wheels including for the newer IRS system.

Hi Gordon. What packages do you offer for 15" wheels? I am going to be using IRS. Do you recommend power brakes?

They are 4 piston front and rear kits using a 11.75" rotor in the front and a 12.2" rotor in the rear. The IRS system uses a pinion park brake.
