Yes if you have the Redline wheels to clear the callipers. Personally I don't think you need to do this upgrade on a v6, get Police spec pads - QFM HPX and your discs machined on all fours. You will notice the difference for street, and should you find them wanting you can upgrade to A1RM on fronts for track. Brembos on an sv6 is a waste of money - see similarly modded cars on 'car sale' boards - bottom line is you will not get your money back. Also check quotes to fit professionally - add another $1k with lines, calibration and fluid to spec.

A grand to fit? I highly doubt that.

Nothing to do with cars give you a return. If you expect returns on modding cars your a moron. We do it because we love cars, holden and performance. It's a hobbie. You may hold a little value in some ways which is then cancelled out by the limited market yay have attracted when selling as a lot of car dealers and people dont like modified cars.

Agreed, morons spending wasting money on mods like premium exhaust because, well, they love the car... clearly not their wallet.
Speak for yourself though, I mod the car I own for work and play, I pay $1.09 / litre for super fuel, write it off depreciation @22% each year, reduces my tax in several ways, gets me across the Hay and Nullarbor Plains at high cruising speeds every day of the week.
Different strokes.
I was trying to help out the sv6 owner with bargain upgrade deal on eBay, with cautionary note that he'd be better off with Police pads (and save up for a V8).
