    I was just thinking about doing some brake upgrades, but not sure if they will fit my wheels i already need spacers to clear my stock brakes and financing is a small issue, what is the time frame of this GB

    How much space is between your stock calipers and the face of the wheel? The spacers don't bring the caliper forward much if at all, they more move it outwards. It fit under my 17" rims.

    Timeframe is flexible -i'm not too concerned with stopping my car just yet so i'm happy to suit the majority. What wheels are you running? If you can give me some specs i'll ask john to confirm whether or not the upgrade kit fits.

    For anyone concerned, I think someone had a template you could use to check is if the upgrade kit would fit in your wheels. Maybe John has one?

    18" x 7.5 AME with spacers on the fronts, will need to find out how big the spacers are though

    Ok mate sounds like a plan. The more info you can get ie offset, spacers etc, the better. Template is a good idea i'll see if i can track one down.

    Awesome Price for Brake Upgrade...

    Guys in all the excitement I forgot to get a quote for brake upgrade kit only (ie no pads).

    So for DBA 4000 series rotors and UAS adapters as pictured in the original post group buy price (5 or more) is $570!!!.

    What's the price these days for stock TT calipers? I'd have to upgrade...

    RedZedMikey RZM should now be DZM

    Count me in as a definite for the Goodridge brake lines.
    I know you've left timing open, but I'm keen for this to happen within 2 months if possible.

    Mattz -weights are here

    Bet you thought I'd conveniently glossed over this one by now?????

    Here's the official word from DBA, I asked for disc and hat so I assume that is what we have.

    "The 4000 series is 9.5kg per disc, the 5000 series assembly is 8.35kg each."

    ***Group Buy Is Now Open***

    OK guys I'm going to open this one up and start taking money etc. Going to leave it open for a month so closing date is 13/9 -as with the heatercores I'm happy to start sending out as soon as we have reached the minimum requirements.

    How do I order???: Easy, to confirm your order I will need a 50% deposit with the remainder payable within 5 business days of the goods being ready to ship. At the moment there is plenty of stock. Please PM me for details, a couple of people missed out on heatercores because I didn't see their posts in the main thread, don't want that to happen again so PLEEEEEASE PM me if you want to place an order!!

    Those who have expressed interest so far


    Braided Lines: Rob260, Sandeep, Chrispy, Blue32zx, Vbevan, LazyZed, sleepwalker, RedZedMikey
    Air deflectors: Rob260, Blue32zx
    Brake Fluid: Rob260, Sandeep
    Brake Upgrades: Rob260, Chrispy, bigbaz

    So more than enough to roll with the braided lines and there's no minimum for air deflectors or brake fluid. Could do with some more interest in brake upgrade kits though, at $570 I would have thought they'd be walking out the door??? :confused:
