Try Brute, I know he had a kit he was selling.

[stumps.]

ve setups are very different to pre ve.

You can get them from holmart for big $$

[H1GHROLLR]

yeah holmart have the holden ap stuff , for a tad extra the harrop monster would be a better option , not sure i wana quite spend 5k . .

[Sfidz]

There is a set of harrop Ones for sale on gumtree for 2.5k front and rear.

[H1GHROLLR]

^^ did see these , dont come with lines etc which are all different and it looks like they have been painted a bit dodgy (not disassembled etc) might be gunked up

[magic1]

brutes are sold.

[Buckets]

Harrops are bullshit expensive. Try finding some 996 Porsche Carerra Cup brakes they are the same size as the Harrop monster kit and they are actually cheaper if you get them 2nd hand.

http://holmart.com.au/online/prod423.htmhe doesnt want to spend $5K so with freight they wont be far off.
plus being VE the discs have different stud holes and from what i am aware different mounting for the calipers.....but i may be wrong.

funny how people will spend thousands on cars yet $5K is too much for brakes...

[H1GHROLLR]

^^^ VE brakes are a no go on early

Im positive i had a VZ in here with the APs on it . Anyway 5k is fukall for full brake kit like that .

[H1GHROLLR]

any one used KSPORT brakes ? just got a quote for 8 pot fronts with 380mm rotor and 6 pot rears with 356mm rears for $4000

[miksta]

I think Morticia (Chloe) has a set of ksport on her soopla.

[H1GHROLLR]

might chuck a thread up :)

Don't be a cheapskate & take the China route with something as critical as brakes Mark!
AP Kit for $4200 that Bart posted is killer for the coin.

Have you looked into those ones that Dus sells on ls1?

They sound like similar specs to the above

There was a bloke in Perth with a VE ute running Porsche brakes. (I think he's on here) The Porsche brakes are Brembos from memory so finding the other odd's & sods shouldn't be hard. I'm did consider them for my car as well but opted for the Harrops myself.

They made AP's for pre VE. Pretty sure the vz r8 came out with ap's

VE brakes are completely different the discs are thicker, the hubs are smaller and the brakes mount on the other side of the disc. If it was a ve you would just buy the camaro ones off the net in the US for fuckall

[H1GHROLLR]

^^ that ap kit is ve dean , no good for me i dont think ? might just use the harrop monster yet

Not quite as flashy as some others you have mentioned, but a decent setup for cheap cheap!

[Tre-Cool]

they can also be adapted to pre-ve.

I will be doing this on my ute aswell. (in regards to camaro calipers)

[H1GHROLLR]

so that kit in question is there much that would need to be modified to fit onto pre ve ? dean i will look at that kit when i get home fuckin limited access to forums at work -.-

Did you end up sorting this out Dave? I remember you were looking at it on ls1. This is where I based my previous comment about the discs being different from.

[thommo]

dam wish they sold new falcons over there !

VE has smaller hub size and bigger studs...

[Buckets]

^ I'm sure if it fits the Commo' it will fit a Falcon

ford 5 x 114.3 i think...

different hubs completely

[TheChad]

interestingly enough my new calipers arrived today from the us. i ended up buying 6piston brembo monobloc calipers for the front, and got a set of 4 piston ferrari 360 rear brembos (similar to fpv). fronts were 1.2k including .2k postage and rears were 1k. rotors should bring the total up a bit, but im just saying you can get better brakes for 4k out there. they are all radial mounts so it should make barts job easier when i bring them down to bunbury.

corvette 6 piston caliper fronts are sub $700 from the us (PBR i think caliper)

[H1GHROLLR]

just sent an email off to wilwood about 6 piston front and rears from us , hoping the postage etc aint going to finger my ass if not i will be going that way , any one got a rough idea on post ?

Just the Pre VE HSV Brakes... PBR i think? $700 is cheap as chips though considering similar go for $1500+ every day on there.

See above.

Try companies like JEGS and Summit if you want pricing on Wilwood gear.

[TheChad]

i actually got ripped abit on the postage there, the actual postage cost the pingpingpingping $120 usd, but he charged $200 on ebay. not prepared to argue, not really sure if there's anything i can do about it.

how about looking here:

could probably pay the $1500, tell him to chuck the rotors in the bin, and get the calipers here for another 250 and be laughing, just get the rotors over here...

[AGIT8D]

^^ That's fine as long as you go another set of wilwood rotors.. The wilwood kit I have consists of custom alloy hats so the DBA rotors will line up. For street use, the wilwood rotors are fine. For a track application with a heavy car and aggressive pads, the rotors will not last very long at all.

[Boza]

theres a set of harrops to suit vt-vz in quokka, $2400ono fronts & rears...

[H1GHROLLR]

bump still looking
