Re: GPX/GPvR or bigger brakes
My fuking budget for brakes at this stage is $800
Because nothing is faster than a p plater in a commodore.....
except maybe a p plater on a unicorn

They seem to range in price, or does the commo have a different stud pattern? Making them harder to get and therefor more pricey?
beside the brackets require a custom offset rotor, 400 is it mate. Ben looked high and low for a better price and ended up getting the brembos instead

Re: GPX/GPvR or bigger brakes
The calipers are off a Commodore, but the rotors are off a C5 Corvette... and they're cut down to fit... and there's only 1 guy in the coutry that does them. Hence big price tag.destinationtoby wrote:sh*t yeah Ill buy em off u if I can get rotors cheaper, are u sure they are $400 eachBennoz wrote:Wow they've gone up.
