Hey, nice work That's something I've dreamt about for a long time, but know I could never afford. How much did you pay for the calipers, pads, adaptor hub and brake lines all up?

And of course, how big is the difference in stopping power?

Did you do fronts and rears, or fronts only?

paid $120.00 of ebay local seller, brand new in boxes he never got round to intstalling, lines are adr aprooved cant remember what brand kit it was, wasnt pbr but it was all good gear incl the pads, had to remove stone gruard but apart from that they whent stait on, makes a massive difference, pedal feel i soooo much better and it pulls up in a flash, only did the fronts however i will be putting slotted rotors on the rear to mach the fronts just waiting to wear down the pads a bit, they'll be due in a little while.

i know, apparently the guy whent to install the kit, rounded his brakes lines because he didnt have the size spanner, chucked a sad and put the kit in ebay, lol, i wasnt even looking for it just did the usual search, commodore, local pick up, gotta love ebay.
