What are the dimension specs for the rotors with this kit, and if you could, estimated replacement costs for the rotors?

Hi GTHO,
The current disc that has been developed is a 355 x 32.5 radial vane design which we use on the Korean race cars for a while now with no issues. I estimate the cost for replacement discs at around $600 for the pair. This is just the rotor without the alloy hat as a replacement. We may also release a 380mm rotor for the Ford but need to do some more clearance tests first.
Our discs are used in the Korean V8 Supercar series where we supply the whole field with brakes and dampers.
Cheers
Brett

Hi Brett

What is the complete cost of the rotor and alloy hat and what colour hats will you release for sale.

Keep up the great work and great products. Still luvin those coil overs mate , GT is so much fun to drive with em.

Hey mate,

The cost of the disc replacement for the Brembo bakes we estimate to be around $800. This is with the alloy hat and we have chosen a dark grey colour as the gold was a bit bright haha. The fully floating option will be about $100 extra.
We have been bashing the brakes for the last month with outstanding results!!

Ok

That's price competitice with the DBA 2 piece units ( 5000 series T3 2 piece rotors ) - actually yours are cheaper by a fair margin.

How do they compare to the DBA units ?
I'll need a set soon - so I have plenty of questions. LOL

Um.....goes fast.....gets round corners fast....pulls up freakin fast!!

I am very impressed with the gear that Shockworks produce!

I have had Brett and Chris's 355mm 4 piston monobloc front brake kit put in this morning and with a couple hours driving round I can say that the progressive and predictable pedal feel coupled with the stopping power have again transformed the car.

I will be giving them a good workout over the next few days :-)

Apparently the full production kits will have a grey alloy hat rather than the orange, which will look the goods I reckon.

Awesome gear for a reasonable price too!

Hey ESP,

I did slip up a little with the price, as I had quoted for the smaller 320mm units we use on the GT86 so sorry about that mate.
The 355mm rotors with the alloy hats for the Ford Falcon will be $900 a pair. The fully floating is to be around $1050 as it is more expensive to produce and assemble. I can not say for sure how they compare with the DBA rotors which are recognised as quite good. All I can say is that the same rotor design we use are used on many races cars with very good results and are durable. All the testing we have performed so far has been outstanding. I have been involved in damper and brake testing for many years and feel our package is very predictable on the limit and with very good feedback. Less effort than some other monobloc callipers we have tested. We are still trying to source a high quality braided line for the kit but all testing so far has been with the factory brake line, so expect even better results with an improved brake line.

Cheers

Hey Brett,

forgot to ask yesterday, what sort of replacement cost are we looking at for the pads, the track/street ones which are in the car now?

Cheers,
Nathan
