FYI - HFM 337mm rear brake upgrade kit

Remember this is a rear kit, it's not going to see anywhere near the workload that the front does. The rears will probably only see 400degs tops.

And a little bit of pad overhang won't cause any problems. If you don't like it just file the pad down a little. There are very few upgrade options for the rear brakes. For the price, even at $299, this is a good option imo. Of course the rotors won't be of the same quality as Brembo or Stoptech, etc, but they'll likely be as good or better than anything generally available in Aust lol.

Anyway if you want a cheap rear brake upgrade buy a set, if not don't. I have no vested interest.

I've already bought a kit and just posted this for anyone else who might be interested

 

When it arrives take some close up shots and thoughts on quality. How it fits etc.

 

I'll post up my thoughts but I won't be fitting it straight away.

 

Anyone knows whats the disk thickness?

 

Being that it uses the factory calipers I'd assume stock thickness. Will let you know when my kit arrives.

 

Received my kit today, only had a quick look but quality looks quite good for the price. Damn rear rotors are thin though lol.

One point to make is due to the drum for the park brake, the curved veins will be a little limited in their ability to generate an air pump, but I expect they'll still run cooler than a comparable straight vein rotor. And rears don't get very hot anyway. If anything I'll want to keep a little heat in the rears for the track.

I'll bolt them up on one side on the weekend to see how well they fit.

Very confident these will work well to generate a little more bite in the rear :br:

 

Fitted these up today quickly. Seem to fit quite well and no overhang on the pad, pad sits just inside the outside edge of the rotor. Being this is a much bigger rotor though our pissy little pads only cover about 2/3rds of the rotor face lol. Looks like a good cheap upgrade.

Took some photos, will post up a review later in the week when I get time.

 

Is there a set for the front?

 

lol, click on the link and have a look
