Grippen brakes

[JoePrince]

Hi, has anyone bought or is using this brand of brakes?

Links is selling these brakes and they claimed that these are OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for Trust.

The set that I was talking to Kee about also includes the 2-piece brake rotors.

The overall construction looks quite nice but I would like to hear your opinions and whether does anyone have any knowledge of how it compares to Brembos, Endless and AP Racing.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

I have been in and out of links quite often.. and have talk to car's owners which have change to grippen... alot of them say that is very good... compare to their oem brakes..

 

[LemonRuski]

is Grippen universal? (can install on all car models)

 

[Joeker]

If not mistaken, they're made in Taiwan

 

[LemonRuski]

taiwan made...ok..but can they be installed in most car models...say..Kia Spectra?

if not mistaken trust one was label grex from alcon

im drivin a evo 4,thinking to upgrade to grippen also but at last buy oem evo 6 brembo because im afraid next time dun have spare parts for the grippen caliper.

 

[LemonRuski]

must go to links liow..see how much Mr. Kee will quote me for new braking system...grippen style... =)

hm.. i tot of getting 4 pots front and 2 pots rear also... how good does it perform compare to the rest? try to search from the net... not much of info though

how much would it cost? maybe we should go bulk purchase????

any1 know the price? er.. i mean who know how to get better price?

grippen is kind of like a bang for buck brake system...its far better than your stock one...but not as expensive as brembo or ap racing and such....owner of racecraft is using grippen on his beemer...6F4R if not mistaken...he's also a racedriver...ask him how his grippen is laa....im sure he can give a proper feedback...

 

[JoePrince]

Quality wise it looks pretty good. Was seriously considering the 6-pot brakes set but I agree with Ian Evo....spare parts availability is an unknown compared to the more established brands.

The front big brake upgrade kit i.e. 6-pots @ 330mm 2-piece rotors is going for about RM8k for Subaru STi.

grippen calipers are *very* heavy

 

[DarkChild]

Yup, it's Taiwan..... And no relation whatsoever to Trust/GReddy
In terms of performance and quality... have no idea. But Links has been pushing it and I've seen a few of the GTR's using them. I should ask for opinions next time...

 

[Joeker]

From far, those Grippen calipers look like those fake "BREMBO" caliper cover. LOL

I think considering the price, Grippen is worth it compared to ALCON, GREX, etc.

I heard Grippen bite and lock-up the wheels abruptly, so abit dangerous for novice drivers and those who are using poor adhesion tyres.

 

[Dino@Casper]

Grippen not 2 bad lar.. i drove a few cars with grippen systems...

 

[LemonRuski]

Is Grippen expensive?

 

[Dino@Casper]

if u compare with brembo all those.. no its cheaper.. off cause its more expensive than ur oem set... i suppose u could say its value for money...

 

[JoePrince]

read the marketing material on the Grippen brake system.

The calipers are made of aluminium alloy (as per Brembo and AP Racing) and the rotors are 2 piece (same like the top end Brembo and AP brake systems).

The manufacturer claims that everything is mahined by CNC precision machining equipment.

The main question is: has anyone used/installed this type of aftermarket brake system before? If you know of someone, could you kindly direct me to have a chat with them to hear of their experience and feedback on this mod.

Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, Grippen are actually STOPTECHs .. and they're good..

just out of curiosity, would anyone here happen to know the minimum amount of $$ that i would need to have to install Grippen on my car?

1,000 ...2,000...3,000 ??
