Last chat I had with Matt today was about best way to organise payment, so he doesn't get mucked around.<br />Said I'd call again next week after he had time to think it through.

Right. I have been in discussion with GeGe6 about this group buy and I have taken the reigns. I have contacted Matt this morning from Race Brakes in Sydney.

We can get a group buy together, but there has to be a one off payment. I am happy to pay this with my credit card, but everyone has to pay upfront!

We will need a minimum of 5 people to get this group buy going. I am assuming that there is enough interest for this that if we ask Ralph Wiggum to start a thread for us, he will.

I do have to mention the following though. After a lengthy conversation with Matt, he has mentioned that they are currently developing a new kit for us XR6 Turbo folk, so that we can keep our standard rims.

I did read something about this on the AFF. I did pose the question to him about whether we should bother with the braided line upgrade, if they going to have this new kit in production soon.

He did say that it is not worth getting this braided line, as the kit they are putting together will come with Braided lines, but it will also use a different braided line.

With this in mind, it may be that this purchase will be a waste of money for some!

I'm confused? Since when did braided lines need bigger sized rims to clear them?

I was under the impression that the braided lines would replace the OEM brake lines and be positioned in the exact same spot (and using the same bolts or whatever to hold them in place?)

Or are you talking about a new caliper, rotor, and braided lines combo? Like is he making a new territory/f6 rear combo (and front as well)? I don't get it? lol

What's be the price of said "new kit"? I might be in on the lines cause they are cheap, but a whole new kit may be out of the question for me hahaha

The new calliper along with the braided line are setup a bit different to clear the 19" rims. Apparently it is designed differently in such a way that it looks like it will even clear the 17" rims.

As mentioned, this is still in development and they are not sure when it will go into production.

I have offered my vehicle as a test for the 19" luxury rims that I have. I am gonna take a pic of the rim and have a ruler in there to show the clearance that they have.

If I'm reading this correctly, if your planning a brake upgrade it's not worth upgrading the lines only as Matt RBS is planning a caliper/rotor/line upgrade kit.

If you don't plan to upgrade brakes then braided lines would still be a worthy addition.

Its just a rear upgrade yeah? Or are they developing a front setup as well?

Sound interesting.

But knowing me, I'll be too poor and CBF anyways. lol I rekon the standard calipers + rotors + decent pads + braided lines may be enough for my street duties

Maybe leave a link in this thread if a new braided lines GB happens :P

cheers
