Default AU Brake upgrade package

Hi Matt,

There are a few discussions in the AUfalcon.com.au sub forum about the BF XR8 caliper (322mm) upgrades for the series 2&3 AU's. Someone has suggested the package from the URL below.

What sort of package would you be able to put together similar to the Falcon AU2 / AU3 / BA / BF listed over there? I'd hope that if you were able to do a package like this the forum members would get behind you as a site sponsor.

We do offer these brake kits from $900 or we will be doing a 330mm upgrade with a PBR C4 caliper which is similar to the AU Tickford set. Prices will be available soon we are just sourcing all the parts as we speak.

Fantastic, if you could let us know the price for the 330 setup here also it would be much appreciated.

There is also some confusion as to the hose fittings with BA calipers on an AU. Are you able to provide a definitive answer? I guess if the 2 sets mentioned come with correct length / fitting braided lines then it becomes somewhat unimportant.

Calipers arrived this afternoon and we are pricing brackets up now. The braided hoses come in the kit. Can you reply to this over the next day or so if i haven't put some costing up or keep an eye out for a new thread.

Just in the middle of pricing the kit up for forum members so won't be far away.
There will be options to upgrade rotors and brake pads depending on the customers needs so stay tuned.

The kit will fit AU11 and AU11 front and will include the following
2 x PBR Red C4 twin piston calipers
1 x set of Street pads
1 x Pair of braided front lines
1 x Pair RDA 330mm Slotted disc rotors
1 x Pair of brackets and bolts
The kit above will cost forum members $1200.

With DBA Rotors
DBA do not have any T3 4000 series rotors in stock at the moment so we can't offer the option but we can supply the 4000 XS in the kit for $1400
or
the 5000 XS two piece rotors with red or gold hats for $1600 but for a limited time.

Can you do the calipers, braided lines & brackets/bolts at a separate price?
I only ask this as i can get RDA rotors & pads cheap through work.

Thanks Matt, what would the cost of postage be to 3337, and how much for some good quality brake fluid?
