Larry8 the only option would be to go to 15" wheels and then we can supply a twin piston upgrade on the front from $1350.If the rears are drum brakes just leave them as is.

NON ABS i can still do for $1950 - You will need to change the ball joints on the exchange uprights and get a wheel alignment.With no exchange uprights add $150 to price or add $150 for a refundable deposit if willing to exchange.

If ABS are needed then i need to get some uprights as i am waiting on some exchange ones to turn up.The EA to ED models with ABS need to change the ABS tone ring on the back of the rotors when fitting as they are different to the EF-EL ones supplied with the rotors.Price on kit will be between $1950 and $2200 depending on uprights available at time or if we have to purchase some outright.

Freight is extra and to Melbourne is about $40 plus optional insurance of $28 if you want.If you have no ABS then a kit may be done in a couple of days as i have uprights being started now.We use ford calipers in the kit from a AU11.Direct deposit is the best method of payment thankyou

Matt, if i decided to go with the standard offset E-series 330mm kit, how soon could you get it to me?

Also whats the price of freight to 6065 W.A?

Do the uprights come with the top and bottom ball joints?

Cheers
Jeff

If your doing a front only kit i would only go 4 piston and the AP Racing calipers which are black with yellow writing on 330mm rotors at $3150.The Brembo kit has 355mm rotors and the calipers are red so you would have to paint them if you still want black but i have a kit here that is brand new but the customer opted for a bigger kit and you can have first spot on that for $2500 if interested.

Does the 343mm kit retain the E-series offset or take it out to AU-onwards on the front?
What's the deposit for exchange uprights or the extra charge for purchasing outright?
Is the kit for ABS or non-ABS?

We are making a 330mm kit as we speak and it along with the twin piston kit we do retains the e series offset which is why they have been selling well.The uprights can be purchased outright from between $100 to $150 a pair depending what we pay from the wreckers and they can be done in ABS or non ABS .The rotors supplied are with EF EL ABS rings fitted but if an earlier model is needed you have to remove the sensor and fit the early ones on as they have a different amount of teeth.The early model abs rings are about $20 or so each i think.

What about the 343mm kits though? Only really interested in this bad boy, as I figure if I'm going to spend that much on a brake kit, might as well spend the extra and save wondering what if down the line.

Also, any idea what size wheel to get over it? 17" or 18"?
343cm = approximately 13.5" so probably get most 17" wheels over them I would think.

If you are buying new wheels i would wait until you get the brake kit first to make sure they fit as i would recommend atleast an 18" wheel for this size brake kit.
The 343mm kit would take about the same to make and orders are about 3 weeks wait at the moment but it won't be long before orders aren't done until after Christmas.

G'day,

what upgrades do you have for an XE?, we use it as a track car at Winton, it currently has standard size DBA slotted rotors, PBR Performace pads, standard callipers and lines, and DOT 5 brake fluid. Standard brakes and pads on the rear.

We would really like to go bigger, but stay within the 15" rims, what do you recomend?
