Well, last week I picked up my SS from Race Brakes Sydney after having an APRaing kit installed.
Components are:
Front
∙ APRacing 4 piston callipers
∙ 330mmx32mm DBA5000 series rotors
∙ Braded lines
Rear
∙ APRacing 4 piston callipers
∙ 315mmx18mm DBA4000 series rotors
∙ Braded lines
I took the SS for a run yesterday and these brakes are AMAZING!!! Once you get a little bit of heat into them (2 or 3 stops) they are fantastic!! You dont even need to apply much pressure and the thing pulls up on the spot :D Looking forward to my next track day now :D
A HUGE thanks goes to Matt from Race Brakes Sydney for all of his advice and help with the kit. Its exactly what I was after!! Thanks mate!! :bow:
Here are a few pics. I'll post more tomorrow :D

Yeh mate, its 9609 1101. Ask for Matt.
Aeron

I went for the Ferodos.
Quite a bit of squeal slowing down at about 25Km/h to stationary, but it doesn't bother me. I only drive it once or twice a week.
Looks good mate, interested also in what pads you used and how it performs under hihg stress braking.

Congratulations Neil! About bloody time! Everyone (including me) has been sucking your brains for the right brake info for the last few years. It's about time you got a quid out of it. I really hope it goes well for you.
As some smart cookie once said: To succeed in business, first you bite off more than you can chew....and then chew like buggery!
Best of luck....:thumbs:

Yep, what Seldo said!
It's been quite a while in the gestation period, glad it's finally happened. I hope it proves successful for you.

It's a real bonus having experts like yourself and Matt sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. It's much appreciated.
