    Default Opinions on custom brake upgrade from RaceBrakes sydney :)

    Front C4 kit with 330mm rotors and everything will bolt up to suit VN V6.

    2 x C4 Calipers
    2 x DBA 4000 series Wiper Slotted rotors
    2 x C4 Caliper Brackets
    4 x C4 Caliper to Bracket bolts
    1 x Pair ADR Front braided lines,banjo bolts and washers
    1 x Set of Lucas brake pads

    Rear set up
    2 x DBA 4000 Wiper Slotted rotors 'factory size'
    1 x Pair ADR Rear braided lines,banjo bolts and washers
    1 x Lucas brake pads

    Plus i will buy a 1' vn v8 master cylinder (if needed) and some good quality brake fluid. Im keeping the standard rear calipers because the car won't see huge terminal speeds and to keep rear wheel size open to 15's for track abuse. Also it shouldn't use up more pressure in the brake system being so small.

    Just trying to gather thoughts on it because its hard to compare it to anything like the cheaper kits on ebay then RDA, budget pbr kits and well Ap.Harrop.Brembo overkillz ect. Anyone else use RaceBrakes sydney?

    The C4 caliper is just another single sided 2 piston sliding caliper, it's a decent caliper and will be an upgrade over stock for sure, however the only issue I have with the C4 caliper is that it can often be hard to get decent pads to suit at a reasonable price.

    As Vt- says, the VE caliper is a very good caliper (much better than VT!) and won't require a master upgrade:
