G4 Brakes/coilovers

[YellowTurbo]

Ok, this is the go...

I spoke to Race Brakes Sydney, they told me that the G4 brakes are rubbish.

They can do some good cheapish deals on fronts.

AP racing 4 spots with two piece rotors 338mm, with lines and pads. $3150

Brembo 4 spots two piece rotors 344mm, lines and pads. $3300

Or PBR 2 spots on 355mm rotors for 1900

The pads are slighty more expensive for the Brembos 295 for the fronts, AP's 225.

AP require a 17inch wheel, while the Brembo's need a 18 min and then they might not fit

behind the wheels. It depends spoke design.

I'm leaning too the AP because they will fit behind my territory rims for track.

G4 coilover maybe a goer however I need to look at the tein's or wait for the HSD....

Any thoughts lads?

The Falcon is a Heavy car and I would not expect the G4's to last long.

TEIN have full service kits and spare parts available.

I guess it comes down to price vs performance, you will pay for what you get

Buy the TEINs if you plan to keep the car longer than 12 months.

We have had experience with a variety of suspension types, from GTI-R Pulsars, various WRX's and BA/BF Falcons, early Escorts, and types as diverse as HKS, Teins, Drummond, Bilstein, Koni, Monroe etc etc.. BY FAR the cheapest in construction and execution were the G4's, in the platform adjustable type of strut. They also proved to be of poorer quality, doing things like sagging and not happily holding given alignment settings, also exhibiting thread galling when being height adjusted... It just goes to show that you get EXACTLY what you pay for.

I've seen a similar result on an S13 at a drift day I went to, I wouldn't feel safe driving a car running them.
