I want new brakes...

[.:Brad:.]

Hey all, i am after a new brake kit for my VZ Wagon. I have round $1000 to spend.
So far i have found this kit on Ebay but it only does the fronts, but i guess i could save up and get the rears done later.
Has anyone had any experience with this kit,store or brand?

Bear in mind some specialists claim installing
larger discs on the front only (without larger rears)
will affect brake balance.

Only the calipers are PBR. What are the rest of the components like?

hence me asking if anyone has had any experience with them before.
PBR has been round for nearly 100 years i think, very well known brand!
thanks for the info though, still wondering if any one has bought it though.

Lol yeah cause besides the calipers the rest of the components are so complicated..... that said from what i've read on LS1 upc rotors are meant to be alright.

at the end of the day unless your going to the track it will never get really stressed.

u dun have to get bigger rotors but they doo look frekn awesome behind the wheel!! just get a full set of braided hoses /racig brake fluid i have AP racing 5.1 and some DBA street series slotted or 4000 series. that will improve it heaps and wil fit ur budget. I have this combo for my calais n works heapsss better. Contact Race brakes sydney thats wer i got all my stuff. U can also get vented rear rotors aswell as the stock ones are solid. Hope that helps!
