I have a series 1 legnum that I'm parting out at home.....
May just have to check the brakes on it...

And if they do fit, flick me the vin number of Legnum, I'll look up the part numbers of the caliper bracket on ASA. I've checked the pricing on some of them & it's only a $40 part from Amamayamayamayamamaaaah.

So what parts exactly would I need off of it?

eh... not really looking for a brake upgrade. Do better brakes give really noticeable performance on stock engine/suspension? I can't help but think it'd be more useful if I went and did an engine swap or something later on down the road. Until then I think I'll probably keep it to brakes that are solid build quality, but not as expensive as a full on upgrade. I may go down the upgrade route later after I've gotten settled in more financially.

Tbh if you don't really push your car and it's not modded suspension wise hit up some RDA rotors and some not cheapy cheap pads but a brand name.

I drive my car normally, but I'm known to give it a hell of a go too.

I use RDA rotors and Bendix "Ultimate" pads, I've never had an issue and they perform great when needed.

How are those Ultimates for noise, feel and dust?

No noise, no dust, feel great.

I have used them in all my cars for a long time.

Don't know what you're talking about with no dust.

You have mostly black wheels!

You need the caliper carrier (the part that the brake caliper bolts onto, and it bolts onto the knuckle).
Check if the ones off your Legnum have 130mm bolt spacing where they connect onto the knuckle. If they do, you can use those + 294mm Magna AWD/Ralliart rotors with your stock calipers and have 294mm brakes.

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting slotted RDA rotors at $138 and these pads called QFM HPX pads from GSL. The rep stated they are the same spec wise as Bendix Ultimate Performance Pads. What do you think, have you heard about them before?

I have the RDA's from the group buy we did. Pretty good, but little lipped after only about 5,000km

Post by **Vectose** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 5:16 pm

I've probably done about 7,000km on mine and they weren't lipped when I pulled them off a few weeks ago.

That might be more to do with your brakes pads though than the rotor itself

Strkszone · Post by **Strkszone** » Mon Oct 26, 2015 7:51 pm

I reckon I'll just get the rotors machined and go with Bendix Ultimate Performance pads sounds like the most cost effective option for now. If I ever go down the route of chasing more power (which will be after a manual conversion) then I'll consider the upgrade to the brakes, until then keeping them to fast street performance. Thanks guys.
