PBR does a big red brake kit for falcons.
Slotted rotors, Braided lines, Soft pads, twin pot front calipers, single pot rear. I think about $2500 from memory. |

I've got them and they are good. FTG were doing them cheap (for front rotors twin piston calipers and some pads), not sure if they have any left or not.

you wanna get better brakes cause it looks good? Save some money and give your old ones a repaint. You can get slotted rotors from eBay pretty cheap too

Big brakes is always worth it.
Better stopping power is often neglected, which is utterly stupid in my opinion. |

the pbr package is a excellent package, bassically the exact same brakes that came on the ba gt's and typhoons, also they can be picked up brand new for $1800 for a complete package if you shop around, includes big front 2 piston calipers, single piston rear calipers, slotted and ventillated discs all round, braided lines, pads brackets, brake fluid. Also they look good. Next step up your looking at something like 4 piston ap racing or brembos, talking big $$ now, usually around $2200 second hand for fronts only without lines. On a stock au with the pbrs you can be assured they will never fade and have ample power to activate the abs.

I fitted the ba brakes to the front of my au last year and they are worth every cent as they pull up better than the s**t au ones and also fill the rim.

far out if the ba ones are heaps better then the au then id hate to feel the aus, i feel the brakes on my ba are pathetic for the size and power of the car, ill be fitting the pbr kit shortly.
