Biggest brakes I've heard of
I was reading online, and I found a brake set from Alcon, in Britian, that is just scary big. Imagine if you will; 400mm front rotors clamped by 12(!!!!) piston calipers, and 380mm rear rotors clamped by 6 piston calipers. The cost for all of this? A mere $16 000 USD. Unfortunately, I haven't found any pictures of the set installed; although, I am still looking. Incidentally, I think it mentioned a minimum of 19 inch wheels.

Those are for the new AirBuses...;)

Sounds like commercial aircraft brakes.

And yet, apparently, people are putting these on their cars. What's next, clipping the 5 disc carbon carbon brake assembly from a 737 landing gear? Incidentally, my friend works at Goodrich aerospace on the landing gear production line, so he was showing me one, and I thin kthat with some creative engineering, someone could make the multidisc brake system work with probably about 17x8 inch wheels...
