£1000 for full set up... that sounds good to me, but it looks like the same set up as on the VXR? and i dont think some of the guys on here rate em?

Id personally consider them as i dont drive too hard.... well, not yet anyway!

If it's the same system as fitted standard to the new 6.0 VXR, save your money. They're totally rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all know they are below par but I thought they might be of interest to an older HSV GTS with worn out brakes

I think this would be a backward step for a HSV GTS. The four pot Harrop breaks are great when properly maintained Thanks for the thought.

I've been meaning to sell the original 4 pot Harrop's from my GTS. The front discs need a skim, they were only on the car for approx. 10k miles.
Anyone interested?

GTO 2004 Front Big Brake Kit - Red Finish
Minimum 18" wheel diameter required. ABS compatible. Designed to maintain brake balance (BIAS). Compatible with OE Master Cylinder and ABS System. Unique features. This kit is very similar to the AP Racing designed kit supplied to Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) for the performance model Monaro sold in Australia. Every aspect of vehicle dynamics has been taken into consideration in the design of this kit, delivering superb balance, OE quality, and maximum performance. This is the only upgrade brake kit truly designed specifically for the GTO.

Ive not contacted them to see what the details are, but it looks like the ticket for some of you crazy bods.
