im pretty sure this list is for adding the premium brake setup to an AU from the Tickford enhanced models..

for an AU2 you will need:
- Calipers (~$500 second hand)
- Brackets (inc with calipers)
- rotors - DBA 4x4 (~$750ea)
- pads - kingmetals (~$150)
- bolts (inc with calipers)
recommend:
- braided lines - RDA approved (~$200)

AU1 requires these extras:

strut upright $350
- lower control arm $300
- swaybar $320 (whiteline adjustable)
- swaybar brackets $220 (new from ford)
- brake lines ~$200

TOTAL
$2990

The Rotors would be $3,000 for all 4. Was it $750 each rotor or for all four?

So i think the price will be more.

I think for all four as i had just put 4 new DBA rotors (4000 series) & pads on the XR for just on a grand.

Maybe, but I've got the premium's on the car and the rotors for 329mm (Maybe 328mm) were around $550 each. I imagine to get Rotors the same size as the brembo rotors, you would be looking close to the $750 each.

I saw those rotors at SuperCheap yesterday, how much are they?

I have two AU's a series 1 and a series 2.

I'll put them on up front next time I need to replace the rotors.

I wouldn't mind some sloted dba rotors myself , my standard rotors feel warped - from the feel of the pedal when braking. Anyone know how muc they are going for at the moment ? - at super cheap auto .
