Jarrod the kit we do uses the AU11 twin piston caliper on the 330mm EL GT rotor and all brake parts are supplied with the uprights being either exchange or we do your ones up as there are some modifications needed. Ball joints and a wheel alignment will be needed. 17" wheels generally will fit and the kit starts from $2200.

Is there an option for ap racing calipers . Does the kit include the brake hoses ?

I am also interested in this....

What about for the PBR kit? (Fronts only). To suit my XH (same as EL anyway)

Cheers

All kits include hoses and we did do a 4 piston AP Racing caliper for the E series but it is complicated to do and is expensive.

just out of interest what would a set of 4piston AP Racing calipers cost on an EF keeping eseries offset?

**FLOORED** · 21-02-2012, 04:37 PM

The kits were about $4400 with a AP Racing 4 piston caliper and 343mm rotor

Hey Matt, just wondering would a group buy be possible with this?

The twin piston or the 4 piston?
A group buy may be possible but there are certain issues we would need to sort out and two things i can think of straight away are where are all the uprights we need to build these going to come from and for example will the customer send me theres or do i have to go buy some etc and also we would need to be paid upfront as they are custom made kits and i would not like to get stuck with any. Have a think about it and see if there is interest if you like.

Sorry to drag up an old thread but I thought it would be better than starting a new one. What would the minimum wheel size the the 4 piston calipers??

EB GT's which are 17 x 8.5

**FLOORED** · 27-03-2012, 09:50 AM

We prefer 18" wheels as the rotors are 343mm or if we have a wheel whilst making the kit we can check it.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I have either the option of sending one of my wheels over to you guys or try and get someone in sydney with EB GT rim to come in with one. i'll sort something out and come back to you guys.

No worries and yes get back to me before anything happens so we can nut it out.

is it possible just to buy the rotors calipers hose's etc, save sending the uppers back and forward? could get them machined local?

We could do that if they are capable of doing the machine work and brackets.

Would there be a difference price with a kit that had AU+ offset and not pre-AU?
