No idea.. I have a habit of just buying sh*t and not thinking..

I think $350 for the brakes.. And a few hundred for the adapter plate..
I just had to add it ......

Weight will kill ya. I think my guy got rotors for $160. And to go on Evo III. Uses the same standard brakes as the FTO so should work. If not, I sell as an FTO upgrade..

I like it cause it is a stock mitsi part. So when I need to replace stuff it is all OEM. So your balls aren't in a vice. Like Ben's old setup.. Buying rotors for the custom setup was close to a grand..

Yeah i know aye, pretty crap.
The good thing about the PB brake kits are they are 2 piece rotors so any standard 330mm 12 bolt rotor will fit, cost about 100-150 each. And the pads are standard ap racing pads.

Wow they've gone up. I've got a set of them you can have for $300 bucks, catch is, they need new rotors... and they're 800 for the pair. Mine also come with EBC red pads that have 90% still on them.

sh*t yeah Ill buy em off u if I can get rotors cheaper, are u sure they are $400 each

They seem to range in price, or does the commo have a different stud pattern? Making them harder to get and therefor more pricey?

EOI
Is anyone interested in a group buy on these?
Ive been in contact with the sales rep and he said if we can get 3 or more orders together we can get some pretty good discounts, the new prices are as follows (this is at current exchange rates)
4 Pot 286mm (16+ Wheel) $870
4 Pot 304mm (16+ Wheel) $920
6 Pot 304mm (16+ Wheel) $953
4 Pot 330mm (17+ Wheel) $995
6 Pot 330mm (17+ Wheel) $1277
6 Pot 345mm (17+ Wheel) $1377
6 Pot 356mm (18+ Wheel) $1327
8 Pot 356mm (18+ Wheel) $1377

The kits come complete bolt on and include everything g you need aside from brake fluid. As stated above the rotor weights:,, The 330mm rotors with caps weigh about 8kg each, the 356mm rotors are 9kg each, and the 380mm rotors are 10kg each.

Shipping is extra and will be around $150-$200

Commo are 5x100, wont fit
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
