I've still got my old big brake kit somewhere. Can still get discs for them.

Intradasting, but those are some expensive discs. Obviously they'd last a while but still. I think I'll likely go with one of the ATTKD ones. I keep looking at them thinking $$$, but once I've sold the Brembo calipers (hopefully easy enough), the whole ordeal will only be $1000 give or take.

Hmm, I wonder if they're 100% bolt-on, or do they have adaptors?

Price from memory is comparable, also faces import tax issue.
Ed: yeah, price for PB 330x32mm 4 piston is just over $1700. Import tax of several hundred dollars likely and it isn't worth it.

Pretty much any of the claimed 'Bolt-on' kits.

Well, he only thing they have to figure out really is bolting the brackets to the hub. That's the only particularly custom bit.

Knowing my luck, the friction would cause the wood to catch fire and detonate my fuel tank.

Things moving along gradually with this car. Tim pressed in new bearings while we were away bonfire-ing (thanks again mate) for the LHS hub and car is now drivable.
Got the sub out of the boot (so much more space, lol). Rear strut bar and the 22mm Whiteline rear sway bar in now on the middle setting. Need to grab a new exhaust hanger as the exhaust is resting on the sway bar. Also wound down all the dampers to full soft, which made the ride so much better haha. You told me they were mid-way hard, Zach, not 27-28.

Got the good stuff onto this car, put the resonator on. Guard rolling booked for Wednesday next week, and after that it won't be 4X4 spec lol. Hoping with some natural camber and a bit through the BC's that I can squeeze a bit more of the tyre under the guard. At the moment has a bit more poke than is probably ideal (suspect due to the GTR rotors...)
Still need to get it rego'd. Hoping I can sneak through with the coilovers if I can borrow Jack's strut top covers.
Took a shot with a potato.

No rolled guards, sad potato. Shop I went to had a car stuck on the hoist awaiting parts. But 50% off when I go Friday morning! Not going to complain about a bit of time spent driving for paying $60.
Meanwhile, prefacelift is growing on me again and I desperately want to get the front bar better aligned lol.
