VARi brake kits

[Typhoon]

I run his big setup on my car and they fit behind the stock 17s. Good kit, easy to install, but do rattle a little from time to time when driving. 6pot running on a 343 rotor I think.

@Typhoon really? Vari brakes? pics/review?

 

@Puffwagon you'll have to get bigger rims haha, if I get the 375mm ones they won't fit in anything smaller than 20's which I have haha

 

Here's the available options on the website for those who can't access it (618 is 6pot, 415 is 4pot, Ultra Deep Offset is for ridiculous offset rims and it'll still clear, apparently, but I don't need that option as my rims cleared factory brembos on the previous owners FGX and reading up on the posts on Vari's FB page, they mention they're slimmer than factory brembos anyway):

 

They go like this in pricing (obviously these can/will change) ->

1. $2680

2. $2780

3. $2950

4. $2950

5. $2880

6. $2150

7. $2200

Cant be bothered compressing photos takes to long. You will get his 375mmx32 behind an 18inch wheel no worries. Actually I have a set of brand new rotors here (375mm) I’ll sell you cheap if your keen, I have brackets too if you own a BA/F. I bought two sets of rotors.

 

Basic review is they are very good value for money, Ceser is great to deal with, well packaged, good shipping.

 

All the components are top quality and as I said Im running a 343mmx30 rotor and his 6-pot calliper behind the stock BF 17inch rim!

 

If you have face book friend request me and you can see photos there. “billet barra” 

 

Brakes work really well, I have recently driven a 600rwkw FGF6 and it was running Brembo 6-pot front 4-pot rear. His brakes felt a little better them my setup but not much in it to be fair, and also Im running the stock rear setup too.

 

The rotors take heat really well. 

 

The 375mmx32 is an AMG rotor with a modified Falcon hat. 

 

Just buy a set, you wont be disappointed, but I will warn you they can rattle a bit. Ceser said you can dial it out but I’ve never bothered.

 

Let me know if your keen on my 375mm rotor bolt direct fit for the Falcon.

You don't have to compress 'em if you use that method (it's a little old, but the instructions are still reasonably accurate).

I'll PM you if I want the rotors; yep, I own a BA so will need the right bracket to suit...  Thanks for the information very helpful.

[Typhoon]

I have a full bracket, and rotor set for BA/F brand new. 375x32mm

 

I think I even have a bolt set too.

 

You will just need lines and callipers, which he will sell you. 

 

The 6-pot calliper is universal, the only vehicle unique components are the rotors, brackets and lines.

Obviously I'll need pads as well I wonder if the pads are the same across rotor sizes or they're "taller" depending on the rotor size... doesn't matter anyway since it's only $200 extra for the jump from 355mm to 375mm so it seems worth it to me, but I'll ask the question of vari when I make my enquiry.

[Typhoon]

Pads come with the callipers, and yes they are all the same size. 

 

PM me your phone number and I’ll send you some pics mate

[k31th]

MMS is even worse for photos... I'll add ya to FB haha

[Puffwagon]

Helpful forum is helpful. The missus pointed out a bloke to me called billet barra on fb a while ago, small world ay?!

[k31th]

Here's some pics @Typhoon has given me the OK to post...

 

You can see the front-side of the caliper is "slimline" compared to the back-side, so this will be the caliper that's slimmer.

 

 

 

This looks like the 372mm rotor... (Typhoon can clarify if this isn't the 372)

 

 

 

 

 

 

And as Typhoon said, the 343mm fits inside the factory 17's... nice.
