Yes mate, found it in the Australian section, kit from the States though. These look like they'll introduce importance ;). And by all accounts they work
Thanks... they do look really good.

I was quite taken aback by just how much the the brakes stood out on the Grabber Blue GT350 in the showroom at Jarret-Gordon Ford in Davenport, Florida when I was there a couple of months back, which look exactly like those (highly likely the GT350/GT350R share the same brakes).

A few pennies worth of stuff there... but might be worth saving for (whole kit possibly)... and can't take it with you when you go as they say!

I don't think there's a need for the whole kit, front discs possibly, we've already got the 6 pot Brembo on the front.

Definitely in the plan for me. An old racing driver I know, told me that the best 'power' upgrade you can invest in, is the brakes. In saying that, the stock GT as we get it in the U.K., is a very, very good set up ;)

It's more the aesthetics, as the brakes we've got, far outweigh my talent :)

After doing the wheels I decided painting the calipers at the very least is a must, but as mentioned I saw what looks like these very same brakes on a GT350 recently and they really really stand out.

When (I think it was) [MENTION=13598]Gibbo205[/MENTION] posted about some two piece discs he'd found being manufactured, this peaked my interest as they're as much (to me) an aesthetic upgrade as a performance upgrade.

I'm no racing driver by any standards, but I get such a good feeling from the car just looking good.

Maybe I'm just vain and a bit of an attention seeker :doh: !

[MENTION=16323]Lone Survivor[/MENTION] - have you got a link for the rear Brembo kit as not seen this and quite intrigued?

One of the things with now having such open wheels is that they really show off the calipers and discs... and the standard non-Brembo ones on the rear do look a little puny and like they need something doing to them to make them look more important!
Bit late to the party, you could just paint all the calipers to match, whack some logo's on... unless you're really saying you want bigger brakes. :thumbsup:

Nah, TLDR :lol::thumbsup:! (But was to nookie)

Think mac has 6gR's on his, and is getting big brakes, so should be fine, as for all the bore, diameter etc, if i ever get to changing mine, i'll be straight onto nooki/enoch/gibbo as i'm fucking clueless :lol:

Guys yes I have 20" 6gr 10" front 11" rear the GT350R brake kit are modified buy Full Tilt Boogie to fit the GT cost of shipping Inc brake kit to Stakry was $3980 ÂŁ3350 ish one thing to be awere the rear brake kit makes the rear wheels stick out 0.275 inch more than with stock brakes so may be a problem for my 315 tyres as they already rub more camber maybe or 305 tyres not sure yet brakes will be here next week and fitted buy end of month so hang fire is my advise. I will let you know how we get on.

One of the reasons I went for HRE as the FF01's had the exact offset I wanted.






That said, I'm going to go for a slightly wider tyre on the front when they need replacing to just fill the arch out a smidge more.

It was all about dat ass anyway! :D
