hey all, if anyone has some info regarding an upgrade on rotors calipers and pads, pls let me know I'm willing to upgrade these.
regards and thanks in advance

There is a brake upgrade available to bigger 6 pot callipers and 2 piece rotors....
It's is expensive and available from work pro brakes
WP Pro Brakes in Taiwan.hey Sniko
this is great news!! I will import that kit asap, any news on how to get it or to whom wirte or call to buy it?
buy the way the rotors and calipers look great !!

The kit was around 3K USD for fronts only when in enquired.

No problems.hey hi all.. M erry Christmas!!
snicko, thanks for the info, already sent an email to the Taiwanese operation..
thanks again ..

No problems.
They have been available for at least 6 months.... However they are very pricey
CJHello Snicko,
Have you done any research into how WinnerPower derived their numbers for how they produce the Load (F sub n) acting through the tire at threshold braking or limit braking? In addition, do you know what kind of Deceleration values were produced for use in their Forward Weight Transfer calculations necessary to derive the Braking Torque of each Axle and what tires they used to derive those numbers? Also, what Front-to-Rear weight distribution ratio for the CX-9 did they come up when designing the proportional forces necessary for this particular brake package? The best Front-to-Rear weight distribution I could come up with was 47% (front) and 53% (rear).
If you take the Deceleration (g) and multiple it by the 4,361lb curb weight of the AWD CX-9, then multiple that product by the Height of the CG divided by the Wheelbase (using inches for both), you get the actual Weight Transfer. That value will then tell you how to optimize the Load acting through each tire at threshold or limit braking - which helps you dial-in overall Braking Torque per axle required. If they got that right, it sure looks like it could be a sweet package for the CX-9.
The set-up certainly looks interesting enough on the surface. I'd like to know more about the factors that went into their design, if you know of course.
Thanks.

No..... I'm not the manufacturer
I am not as worried about things like that as you are.
I don't think they would have done the calculations to be honest.Got it, thanks! Yes, I would be concerned about having balanced braking forces.
Anybody else know the answer to the questions by any chance without having to call Taiwan?
