PASHEN Member 868 Member For: 22y 10m 16d Location: Need one.. Posted 08/09/04 11:18 PM Posted 08/09/04 11:18 PM Hey there, I'm getting these fitted on Monday. They're not racing brakes, but more than good enough for my daily driving and occasional thrill ride. They cost me $2320 from memory.I'll let you know what I think of them, and post pics after I get them done.Dave

So why boost the price of the kit and make us buy rears as well?A.

So why boost the price of the kit and make us buy rears as well?A. You get nice colour coded matching calipers for the rear along with matching grooves in the disc rotors....But I know you want more.....they throw in the matching stainless brake lines for the rear too.All in all, it is a package similar to the Ford factory Premium brake package, and is a touch cheaper. Still good value.Aaron, it comes down to what you believe you really need.I've just got the standard brakes with QFM pads on the front at present.... but will likely go the PBR performance package once the power upgrade gets fitted.As a side issue.... PBR are developing 6 pot Corvette calipers they make for the US market to fit local Fords and Holdens. Still in the R&D phase.Now they would make a difference to track times!!!

Still not my problem When the spare $$ is around I'd probably do it - especially if I'd been on the path for more power *grunt grunt*A.

Posted 10/09/04 02:06 AM Posted 10/09/04 02:06 AM I went with 4 dba 4000 rotors and forodo formula 2000 pads front and rear.this has made it a different car to drive and stop (for the better).the only down side is that the disks don't look big enough.
