If its nearly $2k for just the front calipers then its going to be expensive by the time you have the complete set. Would you need a different m/cylinder also?

Guest 56Mainline Guests Posted 11/07/03 11:21 AM Share Posted 11/07/03 11:21 AM I tried to get the pedals only 2 weeks ago from a FPV dealer in Newcastle & told that with out the vin & build number & a name that matched their database, then no way would I be getting them!I ended up settling for some alloy covers from Auto1.If things have changed then I'm interested in getting a set for a manual.

I bought them from a company just outside ACT, not entirely sure if they sell direct to the public. They costed me $2100 for 2! but they are nothing short of fantastic. Extremely well made, and very light. Pads are only $330, where the brembo pads are near $1000.I havent fitted them as yet, have to save up some more money so I can buy the 2 piece rotors!!Was quoted $5800 to completely do the front end in AP racing. This includes fixtures, fluid, hoses, the works.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueXRT Guests Posted 12/07/03 10:21 PM Share Posted 12/07/03 10:21 PM Falchoon,It is alot of money, but what I have found in brake upgrade options available are either you either upgrade to the equiv of what ford are offering for around 2k or you go all out for around 5k.
