You can call them on 03 97486950, they are nice people and they are totally aware of this shudder problem and more than happy to discuss it. Fair and honest advice, good service, and no 1000% mark ups.My car needs a new diff next Thurs before it turns into a GT-P and the dealer said to order them in and they'll fit them with new pads for nicks.

Yes! Buy some Brembo's and come and see me when you want new pads! Retail for front pads only are $1156.49! Thanks for coming. :lol: My AP front pads are only $330.00. Something to keep in mind.

My feet have barely hit the ground. :( I have a few pics which I can post next week.Vik, Not sure. I haven't had much time to check it out.Scotty, There are a few good pads around in the U.S but they don't cater for many domestic Aussie vehicles unless it is a common PBR caliper.

Unfortunately the BA seems to have an oddball caliper so far which doesn't give you many easy choices. I would like to find out more about the caliper mod/change if there was one. The Late model camira has a very average caliper as well so there is no point retrofitting that to a BA. At the moment you can spend a few hundred dollars and prolong the problem from occuring. Spend a few thousand and stop the problem from occuring, or grin and bare it until there is a definite solution for the standard brakes. This problem isn't happening to everyone so it must be related to driving style/conditions.
