The brake package looks dead sexy but at over $7K to do all 4 (is that correct?), it's a bit too rich for my blood.

Thanks for putting the details (and the pics) up though.

yep, more than 7K for 6pod front, 4pod rear... looks brilliant. the price is brilliant too, so i just wanna buy the 4 pod for front only, and the rear i may just change cheaper rotors and Project MU brake pads with OEM Calipers. (learn from TAKA's brake review)

Fair enough. Post some pics when you've got them fitted.

As i said on the other forum...

$3160 for Tein + EDFC, in Melbourne, is a good price. I was quoted $3360 for the teins alone from GT Suspension.

I am lost.

The post you made on the other side is a 4 pot caliper with 4x4 pads. Which means there are 4 pads per caliper. That is why it is named that way. Why don't you go for the 6 pot?! Read the project mu website.
The rear caliper CANNOT modified by any kit atm I think even if you could, you will lose the e-Brake.

Mono flex it is a lot of $$$ though. I will still use my sore shoulder

Hmm, I'm a little confused myself. Didn't you replace your rear calipers as well Taka, or am I wrong there? Do you still have the stock calipers? What's the e-Brake?

yeah, its 4 pads for each caliper, 6 pot is really nice, but the price is too $$$$ for me, so i choose the 4 pot 4 pads one , the other 4 pot is a mini one, i think its too small.

eBrake = handbrake, attached to rear brake. No people make aftermarket for it yet.

So mine's rear is still stock, with project mu pad and dba rotor.

Oh, IC. Thanks. I've never heard it called that before.

Is it really that hard to come up with a rear caliper that incorporates the handbrake?

I suppose it is not at all.

Perhaps the market is small or they are too lazy to make some.
