Default GS Brake upgrades

Hi Matt, would love it if you could put together a few options for people to upgrade their new fords. I'm looking at getting a new GS in the coming months and would like to get a complete brake upgrade ready for her arrival. I've read about the Brembo 6/4 with DBA 4000 for $4500 in the past which sounds like a good deal, is this still available and what other packages could you recommend. Any advice at this point would be greatly appreciated as I can't wait to get started. I've had a Brembo 4/4 setup before and am hoping that the 6/4 will be better again. I'm prepared to look at other brands and am eagerly awaiting your reply, Thanks

Hi mate the Brembo package is the most affordable package as the others start from $7000 and atleast the brembo packages are genuine style.We can supply the kits from $4500 as long as prices have stayed and stock is available as this can change but just a quick look and things seem to be fine for the cost.Freight and insurance to WA is around the $200 to $300 mark depending on the postcode.Anymore questions do not hesitate to ask.
PS.The dba 4000 series slotted rears are still a week or so away but i have xdrilled.

Not sure about the xdrilled as I've heard they are prone to cracking??? What sort of difference should I expect stepping up from 4/4 with stock pad/rotors to this new combo?

If your not racing the car i wouldn't be to concerned about the cracking as we have plenty of customers who use these as replacement rotors that have no issues.From feedback there is a noticable increase in braking performance when upgrading to the 6/4 set up especially wheb ferodo ds2500 pads are installed but it will be not as noticable as upgrading from std brakes.
