UAS Brake upgrade

Hey guys
Just curious more than anything really, was browsing through the UAS catalogue and saw the 330mm HSV brake upgrade and was wondering if anybody here has got them?
Did some googling round and cant seem to find any information on the calipers though other than they are twin pot :(
Seems a bit overpriced at 1700, seeing as how the only thing you really need for convenience is the adapters and buy the rotors/calipers/lines from somewhere else for several hundred dollars cheaper (seen some sets going for as little as 850 with pads as well)

Also, just read a thread that someone said the UAS intake was hard to find now? (think it was spetzin the Intake debate going on) Was the catalogue i was looking at out of date or do they not manufacture the kits anymore?

Late night ramblings ftw

Ben has the breaks, they need 18" rims to go with them.
As for the UAS pipe kit they will do another run on them BUT you need 10 or more for them to run them.

So them saying 17" minimum is a hoax? lmao or will they just fit, but not be happy with 17s?
Hmm maybe there should be a UAS pipe group buy by the sounds of everyone wanting them...

Have a quick search. There was one attempted not long ago and failed. Its all talk when people say yeah i want one. But when the bill comes up for $250 no ones keen anymore.

I've got the brakes, they'll fit under 17s. What else do you want to know?

They a PBR 2 pot caliper that was sold on the VN, VR, VP & VS HSV. Great setup & because they're sold on Commodores, there are a bazillion different types of pads available for them.

More just curiosity really, would be a bit overkill for my setup so i wouldnt waste 1700 to get them, plus however much to get some 17's fitted.
Just curious how some 330's perform on such a lightweight car is all.
