where did u get the calipers from?

Brakes look great mate

Thanks!

I got the brake calipers, bolts, etc from Holden Parts, and the rotors & pads from GSLRallySport

I did explore getting the brakes painted, but if I was going to do it at all I would do it properly which means taking them apart, getting them powdercoated, then rebuilding them! Sorta not worth the time/money, and I can live with silver!


On another note, got a 3.7 diff put in last week, after a day or so of getting used to it, I love it! Accelerates much faster, and much more drivable in all gears! I will post the difference in quarter mile times when I get a chance to retest!

Looks good dude - gotta love phantom!

How much were the brembo calipers from Holden and how much did the whole setup cost? (pm me if ya want)

I may as well post this up for reference, here is the complete parts list for a redline front brembo kit (as seen on my car), the caliper lines and mounting points are all compatible so this everything you need,
I also have the part numbers for the holden rotors & pads, but honestly you're just getting bent over & sold another brand at a premium price, you may as well get better aftermarket parts...

From Holden:
Brembo Caliper LH 92221883 x 1 @ $435
Brembo Caliper RH 92221884 x 1 @ $435
Caliper Bolts 92139080 x 6 @ $6ea
Pin & Spring Kit 89047711 x 2 @ $75ea

Aftermarket from GSLRallySport:
Slotted Rotors DBA42604SL & DBA42604SR $225ea
Pads QFM A1RM $150

So all up I was out just over $1600
I fitted them myself as they bolt straight up!

P.S. I do have a contact in the Holden Parts Dept so use those prices as a guide... If you budget for $2000 you should be fine!

Hey mate tuff car, just wondering how you go about warranty now with the full ezhaust and lowered. I wanna do mine but dont want to void the warranty just yet

 

[VLC86]

looks awesome mate. big fan of the black on black..

You dont happen to live in western suburbs do you? could swear i saw this a little while back

 

[PHANTOM SPORTSWAGON6]

Brand new? showroom or second hand? awesome colour, sound alright?

 

[tomholzy]

thanks guys,

brand new, sounds great!

I live near Chandler, but you could have seen me!

like any warranty, if my modifications cause a problem then its not covered, but there really isnt much chance of that, theyre only bolt-ons! (for just springs and exhaust youre more than fine)
