I noticed on one of the piccies in your forum that you guys upgrade the brakes to AP racing and something else ( a good thing too - Commodore floating caliper brakes are pretty average, though the HSV 4 pots are pretty good)
Where these a custom job, and did they make a huge differance?

Mine were supplied by Linden, two choices for 18 or 19 inch rims, not cheap though but worth the money in the improvement offered. When I bought my HSV (second hand)the brakes were the first thing that let the car down, in fact mine were aweful.

Only tried them out once properly stopping from 150 mph to 50 mph in what seemed to be 2-3 seconds, essential for track day outings.

£7,500 is a lot of money but what price on safety?
