"How can I make my
TVR brakes better?"

This is probably the most common comment we hear! The usual choice is to fit a racing brake system but this can quickly cost over a thousand pounds and may be an overkill for owners that want an improvement but at a reasonable cost. As a result, we have put together several brake upgrade options that provide the performance improvement without costing the earth.

Level 1: Uprated front drilled and vented discs with calliper adapter kit

The entry level upgrade reuses the existing calliper but replaces the smaller vented or solid disc with a larger drilled, grooved and vented disc which dramatically improves the braking ability and resistance to fade. We can supply one piece disc or with seperate bell housings. This upgrade can be used with almost any TVR, including the S series, the Wedges, Griffiths and Chimaeras.

This is now available for Griffiths, Chimaeras and the S series at a lower entry level price and features grooved and drilled discs for the best possible performance.

Level 2: Uprated front discs with four pot callipers

This replaces the existing callipers with four pot versions for another step up in braking performance. We can supply AP four pot callipers as used on the SEAC and 400SE TVR Wedges or Wilwood alloy callipers. This was fitted to Steve Heath's 390SE before we upgraded to even bigger callipers and discs! During testing, the car managed to stop from 60mph to 0 in 107 feet, albeit with sticky tyres and track surface. Stopping distances of 120-140 feet are more typical in dry conditions.

Level 3: Uprated front and rear discs with callipers

This is suitable for those that want the ultimate in braking performance or for those cars fitted with drum brakes such as the V6 powered S series.

With any upgrade we recommend fitting performance pads such as Mintex or Tarox. However this is not the end of the story. Any high preformance brake system generates heat and unless this is removed, any brake system will eventually start to loose performance. A good example of this is with the inboard rear brakes fitted to the Wedges. These get virtually no ventilation and the heat from the brakes can damage the diff seals and dry out the univerersal joints in the drive shafts. To prevent this problem we have developed a set of brake ducts that fit under the car without compromising ground clearance and can provide additional cooling to the rear brakes. We can also provide front brake ducting as well if required. If you are doing a lot of competition and/or track days, ducting is worth considering.
