I was going to ask last time I there ... but forgot to as I had other things on my mind (ie: power steer pump and steering rack problems) |
Even without the abs module its gonna be a sweet upgrade for the money...be a huge improvement with the 4 potters and massive rotors |

Well I was waiting, waiting, waiting for these to become available but in the meantime I saved the cash to get the Cebco apracing 4spotters and fitted them up last w/e.
All I can say is F**k ME!!! 
No more soft mushy feel, I just have to lean the weight of my shoe on the pedal to start pulling up now. So the feel of the pedal is 'outstanding!'
Plus they just look so PHAT!!!

| If they are anything like my Territory or better ... I'll be very happy indeed. (i've had to stomp on the Territory's stock brakes in an emergency .. and nearly went through the windscreen). |

Do they retain the E series offset, or do you need to use AU/BA offset wheels? |

Yep keep the E-series and no adapter plates or anything. One thing I didn't want was different wheels front to rear.
The kits a straight bolt in, the hardest thing was pressing in the new ball joints into the spindle. 
Here's another horny pic  The discs are free floating and you can have the centres powdercoated a few different colours of your choice.

They're a smidge under $4k plus $330 deposit on the Spindle assy.
It stings at first but now I've been using them for a week, I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THEM SOONER!!!! |

Hmmmm ... still saving the cash .... should be soon though.
Reynold told me Joe has sorted out the ABS with the brake upgrade ... so it looks to be just about ready.
He just needs time to work on them to finish the kits off. |

Pedal travel is the same as stock, but doesnt go to the floor. The abs has been sorted. Joe is back in full swing doing long days again, he is currently rebuilding my auto as it died, and as a result, i have finally dropped it off to get the EMS installed. These bakes are worth every cent. I can not say enough good things about them.

216.9 rwkw on GAS. 149 rwkw most of the time. There is an upgrade you can get, and mine is getting it as we speak. Should be good for 380-400rwkw

No, not displacement, but age. 200180k and she finally went pop. Funny thing is i was just cruising out to Joes to get the EMS done and it popped on the freeway, wasnt punnishing it or anything. Fortunately was only 3k from there when it broke, so could limp it in.
