Damn, that must've been a while ago though yeah? I got a quote from NZ last year and it was ~$2500 without rotors!

Fronts are selling at $1,350 NZ at the moment, complete kit. Don't know what the rears are worth.

have you thought about just installing an adjustable bias valve?

**1jz68u** · 05-09-2010, 08:20 PM

i believe someone said that wasnt a good idea.

will look into it though as it would seem to be a cheaper option

just got a reply from the NZ guy, about $600AUD for the rear pair, its silly how much these prices vary..

**Draven** · 06-09-2010, 11:50 AM

don't forget to factor in some locally sourced rotors too... but yes, NZ including shipping worked out close to half price for me

sounds like you're paying about what I paid.

Maybe this guy will negotiate on the price when you point out that you can get a new set for $600?

**1jz68u** · 07-09-2010, 11:49 AM

yeah maybe, i have dealt with this guy before also, so will mention it.

after my last dealing with him on a CF bonnet i dont like my chances though.

Did you upgrade the brake lines on front and rear? Would it be better to have braided front and STD rear because it would have more flex?

**1jz68u** · 07-09-2010, 11:37 PM

If they're in decent condition, the standard rears are very unlikely to flex.
