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.

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.

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.

Best of luck Neil with the new venture.

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

Cheers,
