I EGOXRT and I just fitted the PBR premo calipers with DBA 4000 slotted rotors to my T. It was an easy job (specially when EGOXRT did 98.54% of the work and I was the shop lackey) though we did come across one hitch.We couldn't see how the braided lines were going to fit on the standard bracket. Then, bright spark that I am, I remembered reading that the prems had a different bracket. We hit PBR's web site and found this to be the case. Off to Burson we go to order a couple we thought. Not if PBR had anything to do with it. "Can't get that bracket outside of the kit" we were told. OK. The cars on stands, the calipers are fitted and I'm driving my car home tonight with the new brakes on it. Where now? Fraud of course.So we walk into Bayford and enquired about the bracket. Yes, they are a serviceable item and guess what, they had not 2, but 3 in stock. Cool! Then the man behind the counter proceeded to tell us, "The stock bracket is $2.10 plus and the bracket for the premium brakes is...lets see...$56 plus" What the!? Did he say $5.60 plus? Nope, he said $56 plus. The man obviously had a heart and felt real bad for us so he gave em up for trade. Still, about 16 times more than the standard bracket because of an extra 5x5 cm piece of mild steel.Anyway, here's some pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the braking performance now?Yeah they're still bedding in so they don't feel great at the moment. Thy will definitely be better than stock, you can tell that already. Drove home from Broady last night (about 60km home) on freeway so not much braking needed. They still got a bit of bedding in before I can give them a good test.
