TURBOXR I miss her... Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 4m 13d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/12/08 10:16 AM Share Posted 23/12/08 10:16 AM I just picked up some new brakes I scored for 1.5k. AP Racing 4 pots, 330mm two piece slotted rotors, pads and the mounting brackets. Used, but for f*ck all time, in EC and still with heaps of meat on them. I just had the wheels off to have a look if they clear my rims, they do and it looks like a petty straight forward bolt on, bolt off swap. Only thing missing is the lines. Can anybody confirm that I can use the stockies or do I need others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 4m 13d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 24/12/08 12:39 AM Author Share Posted 24/12/08 12:39 AM Yeah that was originally the plan until I realised it cost about 400 bucks for 4 lengths of f*ckin hose. Plus that whole christmas bullsh*t has really hit my wallet hard. That and the fact that ive spent about 5k in two weeks on this car I was originally planning to sell... Anybody know where I can pick up some lines at a decent price then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 24/12/08 02:32 AM Share Posted 24/12/08 02:32 AM I was quoted $140 for braided lines for the fronts to go onto standard calipers from racebrakes sydney. Pretty cheap just waiting for after xmas. Dont know if they would be different to the AP calipers you got though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
