sp1/cbr600rr calipers, improvements?

Post by gonzothegreat »

I have searched the forum a few times for this but I still have a general question.
How much improvement would you get by upgrading your stock front calipers to a SP1/CRB600RR please?

You'll get some shiny new calipers :grin:

But the main improvement is just down to calipers that haven't seen 20 years of rain, hail and shine. Plus it's cheaper than rebuilding your standard calipers. Win, win I reckon.

They have slightly better feel then the nc30 calipers, but you could probably put that down to age.

Both are similar for outright stopping power - it will depend more on your pads and tyres choices than the calipers.

I put some on becuase it was cheaper than replacing all seals and pistons in the nc calipers.

Ideally you qill also get a matching m/c and new braided lines (as NC30 lines do not fit and the NC m/c is not the right size)

The brakes are great..but it is not quite as easy as getting some and bolting them on..
