Might be a good deal for someone. Looks like an Autotech kit.

Geez, that'd be nice to buy at the starting price! Might watch it... :)

Great, auction ends during my exam :duh::duh::brutal:

Just be aware that those braided lines are not ADR approved, and thus not legal for use in Australia.

Good point, could you use OEM lines?

I don't see why you couldn't..you're not changing the caliper, the disc is just metal and isn't attached to brake lines.

Hmnn... thats what I thought. My rears are shagged anyway, I'll definately see if my old man can keep an eye on the auction and bid on them, unless the price blows out massively of course.

OR I can just speak to a friend of mine who works at DBA in silverwater :biggrin:

DBA are a known quantity at least - their 4000 series rotors are pretty good, and you can get them slotted & cross-drilled if you want.

[Mrk_Mickey]

I've just realised I can do stuff to brakes at my work, too...provided they let me!

[Golf Houso]

Well... it looks like SOMEONE on here got them for the starting price :biggrin::):wink:

[jayjay]

lol. did YOU buy them houso?

if you could be bothered waiting a few weeks, this is probably about the same price (as the starting) as one could get them from GAP. in fact i think this IS what someone bought off gap and didn't install..

[Golf Houso]

yeah I did, 500 seems pretty good to me and my rears are shagged. I realise I could probably save a few bucks here and there or wait around, but I thought I might as well save myself the trouble for once and get the lot. I'm just on uni holidays from today and I certainly wouldn't be able to wait 3-4 weeks for a set of brakes to arrive only to start the new semester!!!

[Golf Houso]

Just got these now and I'm really impressed by them, its just about the complete kit bar the wheel bearings which I will replace.
I paid 500AU for them with about $15 for fuel, comparatively GAP has an equivalent kit for 502.97US and around 90US for postage, which makes them 757.25AU by the end of the conversion, an obivous saving...

Now to get those wheel bearings and have both the rotors and bearings drilled to 5x112 :biggrin:

[Mrk_Mickey]

Can't drill the bearings bro, the hubs are what you need to redrill! :nana:

I'm glad you're happy mate. I was thinking about the possibility of doing it to my car but I thought meh, I don't need it.

Oh good haha I'm glad to hear that, my fronts are like new... they've done 8,000km you can have first dibs if you want :)

EDIT: There is NOWHERE near enough space to redrill them to that unfortunately, Alfa wheels in a 5x98 perhaps lol?
