Don't know about quality, but the price seems good. I'd be concerned about what wheels would fit over them though

Hey All,
I have found that these brakes are no good, don't buy them, they are a cheap upgrade and are poor quality. Cheers |

Talked to race brakes sydney, and found on another forum that a set of these actually failed on the track.

You could buy a stocker AU for that price, The Terri brakes are 322mm or some thing like that they would still look pretty good on an AU.

Your AU would have to have some serious power and be seeing a bit of the track to need such big stoppers at these prices. I will be going the BFXR/terri upgrade when my fronts are due in about 5000km as it won't really cost much more than buying standard discs and pads. From what I have read on here a big difference performance wise and without burning the wallet.
