    I would personally spend the extra and get a known brand upgrade kit like the one PBR and RDA do. Brakes are the most important part and you always get what you pay for.

    This kit uses the same rotors that the VR,VS (ABS) HSV, SV,Senator and Clubsport uses, they are actually 328 in diameter (not 330mm as advertised).

    I would be checking what brand the pads and the Rotors are, as they say the pads are simular to Bendix Ultimate's but don't mention what brand and as for the rotors as far as i am aware there is only two places in Australia (DBA & RDA) that have the approved rotor slotting machine and their names arn't mentioned in the advert either.

    Nothing is mentioned about a warranty, does this mean there isn't one offered with this?

    Also the calipers that they are suppling are only twin piston, not 4 piston like in other kits. Other then the increase in rotor size (from 279mm to 328mm) I can't really see what Performance upgrade there is.

    Are these kits ADR approved? ( It only says the hoses are)

    Hope this helps any more info feel free to send me a pm as i am more then happy to help if i can.

    I bought a kit off tony AKA Mr-spares for my torrie he sells on this forum with a bit of discount. He was very helpfull with the conversion and any problems you might have along the way. As the car isn't on the road yet i cant tell u they perform but the whole kit looks good.
