There's a new braking package available for the VE / VF, heralded with the "20 years of Craig Lowndes" limited edition SSV. This car will be fitted with REAR 4 piston Brembo's on 360 x 28mm rotors (up from 324 x 22 w/single piston calipers on Redline). That legitimises Brembo rear install in certain States. The size is 10mm larger than HSV rears, and 5mm bigger than the rotor from DBA to suit CTS-V calipers. I believe it is the same size as the top spec Camaro disc that G8 modders have rigged a jig to work around to fit same calipers in the US.
The Lowndes SSV planned production run is 161 cars... a special number to any Australian motorsport fan. Besides the expected decals/badging, these cars will have build numbers- with the option of choosing your favourite one (if still available- and build number 1 goes to Craig himself). They also score black staggered width 20 inch wheels and tyre pressure monitoring, besides some of the existing accessory bumper and side vent options.
In addition, each buyer gets an invite (with a partner/friend) to attend a private function with Craig at the Red Bull Racing headquarters in Qld, AND tickets to a local race weekend next year including hosted tour of the Red Bull pit garage.
Deliveries start in October, with last build planned for December.
