aiboart Member 665 Member For: 20y 2m 17d Posted 26/03/08 11:14 AM Share Posted 26/03/08 11:14 AM Hmmm ive only got 17's thoughThe factory 325mm setup clears the factory 17" rims with it seems, half a mm of clearance.Also, IMHO Chinese sourced and or eBay sourced components do not belong on a high performance braking system. Not in these cars.You can improve the performance of your braking system by resorting to the use of direct replacement, better designed (discs, pads, fluid and lines) incorporating higher grade materials.This is a more expensive, though more elegant, and possibly safer solution than simply bolting on potentially illegal and mostly bling value components. IMHO.The next step if you are so disposed, is to implement a proven brake upgrade solution. There is no shortage of simply brilliant factory and non factory solutions for these cars. They are not cheap. You will however, I predict, not regret the expenditure of a single penny on brakes. (Though I may be wrong about this.)Regards,aa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 31/03/08 08:18 AM Author Share Posted 31/03/08 08:18 AM Ok Ive gone off these cheap upgrades and found some DBA4000 slotted discs on ebay still but looks like I can pick it up. Is $352 for just fronts a good price? The reason I just dont call a shop is I dont have time or patience to do the calling round during work hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newl Guests Posted 31/03/08 09:01 AM Share Posted 31/03/08 09:01 AM That's a bit pricey. I ordered mine from SuperCreep Auto for $260 each (DBA42104SL/SR) plus $6 shipping coming direct from DBA. Spoke with Race Brakes Sydney too and they weren't too far off that price, $268 each I think (one side will be more expensive than the other..dunny why).

Also the brackets that he is supplying don't look overly strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its $352 for the pair. Seems like a good price if you paid $520 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alion Member 27 Member For: 17y 11d Gender: Male Location: Figtree, Wollongong, NSW, 2525 Posted 26/04/08 03:13 PM Share Posted 26/04/08 03:13 PM I am led to beleave that you do need 18" wheels to fit the 330 in, I am actually the highest current bidder atm on this item, main reason why I went for this is becasue I just took the car in for a fairly big service with all fluid (brake, engine, gearbox, diff and such like) changed. I was informed that I have servear stress fractures (was a good friend who serviced the car so I do trust what he tells me). So still with lots of bill and such like in this day and age and only being an apprentice (2nd year at that) There is not to much money in the bank to change over the disks, I could have used standard from ford I know but seeing there has already been stress on the old brakes an upgrade would be smart. If I do go through with this item I will wright back on this item, hopeing that all the attention drawen to it doesnt make it cost anymore. hahaThe only thing I dont know about it yet is if I will need spacers because I dont have factory rimsCheers Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bracket for the calipers look solid as and well made. I'll fit and take pics once the QFM pads arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
