Brake Packages

[WCE]

Hi Guys

Getting a stack of brake shudder on my BA XR6T, rather than looking at new pads and machining the existing discs I was thinking about upgrading the brakes.

Checked out ebay found these two brake packages, to be honest I know bugger all about what I should be looking for. My car has the standard brake package.

Any advice?

Both packages are essentially the same thing but the first one has better quality discs and pads.

I've got these on my T and have no complaints. They're definitely a better package than the standard setup

Thanks for the feedback mate.

A couple more questions if you don't mind.

Which one did you choose out of the two?

Did you install them yourself or did you pay someone to put them on?

If you paid someone was it expensive?

I'm not mechanically minded myself so I need someone to install them.

If you are looking to make some desent mumba go to the 330mm AP Racing 4 pot package as that's what I fitted to my 275rwkw T and it has made a huge differance.

I have only had the fronts done and unless I up my front spring rate at front to stop dive I don't think doing rears will be of much benifit.

My setup included DBA 2 piece disk's at $3200 with a $250 fitting cost by the brock shop in QLD.

I know I could have fitted myself but for insurance reason and $250 I choose for them to fit.

I have asked what my replacement pads are going to cost and they replied $160.

I havn't tested on track yet but have had a emergency where I had to drive 20 klm's flat out and can say I was very impressed with no differance felt with brake pedal and never a sign of fade.

Mine you my Turbo was glowing very bright once arrived to where I had to go as I lifted bonnet to cool down quicker so I could shut it down.

And the brakes weren't even smoking as the std one's do after just 2 hard brake's.

The braking performance is very orsm and I doubt I will be looking at doing the rears at all unless it needs it once I take my power level up to 400rwkw.

If I do that I will also be doing suspension and rear brake's.

I hope this has been of use to you.
