Hi Matt
Do you know if the 6 piston AP Racing calipers fitted to VE HSV (362mm) are the same calipers used in the "off the shelf" 362mm AP kit supplied by v-sport for the BA Falcon? obviously the dog bones are differant, I know they use the Holden Rotor and am thinking maybe they use the holden caliper also. |

Thanks for that info, youve been great, what I am trying to do is set up a decent brake package for a BA XR8 track car, on a tight budget. I currently have the 330mm / 4 piston AP kit from V sport and was going to upgrade to the 355mm / 6 piston brembo, but am not confident that this is going to be sufficent for a race car. I thought that i could retain the aluminium hats from the 4 pot kit I have, unbolt the 330mm discs, bolt on some 362mm (dba52024.1s) and hopefully some AP calipers from a ve with custom dog bones, now I know the ve calipers wont work its back to the drawing board, I really need to source some second hand AP calipers as I have the rotors sorted and dont have the $3700 Vsport want for the complete kit

6 pot brembos with good pads and fluid will be fine
DBA rotors will be better too. 355 brembo rotor + brembo 6 pot (monoblocks) + project mu HC+ pads + gFour 355 fluid (PMU) + 1800kg falcon + 42 laps + full slicks = faultless braking around barbagallo raceway for me A heat transfer shim behind pads & extra cooling via air ducts will help greatly

Thanks again, no typo, I can buy for $3700 :-), however taking into consideration your advise I will run the brembos, have the rotors just need to find some calipers at a competitive price.
