The kits start from $2950 for the E series but come with all new ball joints as well and they are exchange uprights.

[mickyyyy]

Can you customise a kit where to get it sit out an extra 30mm so it can have an AU BA offset?? as i have AU BA offset wheels all round and wanting to eliminate the hub adaptors

I know of one guy doing that kit and have asked others if they do the same but ppl have said there's a strength issue by doing something like that??

But the guy who is doing the kits are all engineered by a independent engineer who comes out to his workshop or you go to his workshop and check's it all out and sign's off all the paper work.

So im assuming that the kits are in good working order with no strength issues.

We can pretty much do anything at a cost.If you have a particular wheel then we can customise a kit to suit them.

What type of calipers are included in the $2950 brake kit??

[mickyyyy]

Also,

Apparently AU onwards offset is illegal and does not comply with ADR's on earlier model's, is that true?

Commadores the same model 1995 onwards have the same offset.

Twin piston C4 caliper that takes the DB1353 brake pad.

I have not heard this but it doesn't mean it isn't true.When we custom make a brake kit for any customers we try not to alter the offset to much but we also do not make any kits that maybe unsafe.If we make a custom kit for anyone it is up to them to get a engineer's certificate. ADR approval is not done on one off kits and low volume kits because of the high costs involved.

Does your E series kit alter the track at all?

No it doesn't alter the track and the new kit we supply will be featured on a ford in a popular magazine soon.The new kit is cheaper and uses a pbr twin piston caliper but not the C4 and should sell for around the $2000 mark with exchange uprights

[futura]

keep us posted. I might be interested.

No worries we are looking for uprights at the moment so we can make a kit for on the shelf.

[fairmont1998]

I wouldn't mind seeing some pics of this kit too.

I am waiting on some photo's to be emailed to me and then i will put them up here for everyone.

[fairmont1998]

Any progress on the new kit?
I'm due for pads and rotors any day now, and would love to see your 330mm PBR kit before I replace them.

It seems i should have taken my own photo's of the kit as i can't seem to get them from the magazine until it is published
The kits can be made but are "made to order"as we do not have all the uprights to make them.As we get orders we are buying a set of uprights in order to offer them as exchange and will accumulate them at the same time.
What model do you have and does it have ABS as i can chase up some uprights and start a kit if you like.

[fairmont1998]

My car is an EL with ABS.

[Greg302]

ok im diggin up this thread can i have a price on a 330mm kit with twin piston caliper to suit a eb falcon with no abs. Also can you tell me what comes in the kit.

Greg

[fairmont1998]

This all comes in the kit. Its a fantastic upgrade. I have it on my car now and haven't been happier with my brakes. Ever.
Matt, I hope you don't object to me posting.

You'll need 17" wheels minimum to fit them.

[Greg302]

so the offset is all standard? and what did you pay for the kit? pm me if you like


Greg

[fairmont1998]

Offset is original.
You'll have to speak to Matt for a price, it depends on model etc.

Not at all.Wheel bearings and new ball joints come in the kit as well as what is shown.The kit is $2200 thanks with exchange uprights.We have found the hoses can be different in length with some models but this is not a major issue as we can make them in house to suit.

As above thanks mate and there is a deposit of $300 on top as well which is refunded once we get your uprights back thanks or we can do your uprights.

This is to complicated and expensive with the mods needed and have settled on the current kit thanks.
