Price & review on the brakes please :rollsmile:

Priced at just under R3500 for GT series discs and GT2 (or 4) pads, delivered.

Will provide a personal review after 1000km's. Bed in procedure is 400km of that. LOL

But, for what its worth... The research ive done has led me to actually buying the kit. From reading online of peoples experiences and a Facebook status question, i have received only positive feedback.

Is that for fronts only or are rears included?

Would they work with 18" wheels or do you need 19s?

What is the bed in procedure for the powerbrake kit?

They are going to look awesome behind your wheels

Fronts only! Im fitting OEM rears as Powerbrake do not make kits for the rear.

They are matched kits, so essentially, the same size as your OEM ones. Even OEM 17's would work!

Come come come now! when are you fitting these brakes??? I wanna see what they look like on the Jet! :thumbs:

 

[Arbee]

Ok, So they fitted...

New Rear discs and pads (OEM)

The Powerbrake front Disc

And, behind the wheel...

I will get better pics once the car is cleaned, im also going to clean the calipers and wheels arches, noticed how filthy they are as i was fitting the brakes.

Initial review of the Powerbrake Kit, even before bedding in and actually driving the car properly, they are awesome. Stops in its tracks! Much better than OEM. I will provide a full review after 1000km.

Awesome Mr Arbee, my car goes in on Monday for what is sure to be her last brake change under MP. Will def give this kit a look at next time round.

Shot for the pics. Sexy as hell :bravo:

I got those on mine and coupled with the Mintex pads they are absolutley awesome. Much stronger and they last a lot longer then any others that i have used! Brilliant choice!!:bravo::thumbs::rollsmile:

 

[Arbee]

Thanks guys!

After doing about 100km, i can feel the bite being quicker. Pedal feel is the same.

Car will be going for an oil change in the week and will get brake fluid flushed at the same time. So, new oil, oil filter and brake fluid. She will be well prepped for the road trips in December.

Once back from holiday and back to work, the front end will get resprayed and hopefully VPS'd...

I am hoping to have a spare set of wheels, preferably the stock 17's by then so i can wrap the semi slicks around the rears for track days. Got a track look that im going for!

Thanks! No, not near a strip club. You think the parking lot would have been empty at a Strip Club?
