You can get them off ebay for arounf US$640 for the front 6-pot pair and US$575 for the rear 4-pot pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed the guy and he said approx $195 USD postage but probably more. The kit was $1705.00 USD.So with todays conversion rates that's $2026 AUD plus $225 AUD postage for a total of $2251.Now that's some serious stopping power for very little coin.HOWEVER.They have Corvette written all over them. NOT a good look on a XR6 Turbo AND they dont come with the mounting brackets which, if you COULD buy, would probably cost you say $150 per corner I would say given the size of the bracket and the bolts.So I Paid $3800 for the kit and installation was zero and they have pbr Not Corvette. I think there is a place on the net that sells the kits fitted for either $5500 or $5900. I cant recall.So I may have paid a little more than if I got them from the US but I'm pretty happy.Please don't think I am having a go Winstor, I'm not. I just hate it when ya buy something and someone tells you you could have got it cheaper here. So I always like to find out and really give myself the sh!ts. But this time, I am pretty happy cause theres no Chevrolet reference on my Ford. ARRRGH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An as you've found out, the mounting brackets are the issue. Unless you know someone at PBR, you can't get them. You'd have to get some made and complianced. hey but if some did, there's some cheap performance brakes for all.And the Corvette logo is nothing some sand paper and paint cant fix!

I'll post pics tonight although its awfully hot out there. I'll wait till it cools down a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
