So yours did not come standard with Brembos?

Bigger BMC is not expensive. New from holden about $160. See pic for part no.

No , I have the same as Mattricho , ive been meaning to change it . I was thinking of getting the Cadilac BMC , i'd be interested to know if this would fit in the VF , if not the Redline one will do.

EDIT: They damaged my car a couple weeks ago during a service (more fool me), wonder if I could wrangle a deal

This may come as shock to some (NOT) but I was never a fan of how these brakes look on my car. Always wanted to upgrade to Brembo. This is now back on the cards so need tonwork out if BMC needs to be replaced... ;)

I am just not sure if I do the front only or the rear as well...
Do both and be sure to go 6/4 pot as you will need to get a cert either way . You wont regret it

Exactly what @kleanphil said go the 6/4 pots.
The seller on eBay I got mine from has always got them in stock and in pretty much any colour you could want red, yellow, black, silver but all at a price the silver ones are the cheapest and I think look really good behind a darker rim and I think the red ones are the dearest.

I don't need anything more in terms of braking performance...Just wanted better looking callipers. Redline spec. will do.
