V8 Big Brake UPGRADE 220$
19. Mar 2010 at 18:46  
This is a complete bolt on kit from the GTO/Monaro, comes from the 5.7L V8 cars.

I have this kit installed on my own car, and I can tell you from experiance that the stopping distance was reduced by at least 5-10ft...
Also during panic stops the ABS has to kick in because the brakes are quite strong and lock the front wheels up if you really step on them...  Shocked

Brakes installed on my car...
...

These brakes bolt right on the Omegas.  Please compare the pictures of the brakes  posted with the ones on your car, if they are the same then these will fit GUARANTEED.

The kit has Steel carrier, and Aluminium Caliper that features a dual piston design.
Calipers come from a car that had only 6000mi.
The OEM pad that comes with these is around 40% larger and covers a much larger area of the OEM rotors...

The kit comes complete with the following parts:

2 Carriers
2 Calipers
8 Slider Pins
4 Mounting bolts from caliper to carrier.
0 Mounting bolts Carrier to hub, reuse your old ones.
2 Bojno bolts
2 Hoses 2" longer to accomodate the extra length on the calipers.
4 anti rattle clips.
2 Bleeder screws.

Kit will include OEM brake pads but they are used 75% life left.
Price for the kit is 220$ USD.
Shipping will be around 45$ USD
Total 265$

For extra 50$ I will source a set of C5 Corvette brake pads which are 25% larger.

This is the first of 4 kits I have ready for sale so no worries, I will have the rest ready within a few weeks.

Shipping sux I know but we will work it out.

I have collected a few pairs with low low miles on them I know they are hard to get over there. 

If you guys want C5 pads let me know so I can preorder them.

Someone here tried them with 16" wheels and they fit just fine, a 15 will probably not fit, its a bit too small, but the interesting part is the caliper doesnt stick out much past the OEM one, just look at the 1st picture...

Hi,

Already have them bolt on.
I used the Holden Monaro brake pads.

Look here it is in Dutch but you will get an idea.

You can still use the 15" original steel rims

Seems to me the monaro brake pads are slightly larger then the C5 units by 1mm or so... in length and a bit more in width! 

Quite interesting...

Yikes 1800 EURO for the V8 brakes no way, for that kind of cash you can get yourself a nice set of 6 or 8 piston BREMBO with custom brackets and new rotors with floating discs...


That V8 car is nice though!

The seller (OpelFrank) works, or has very close connections with the guys in Rüsselheim...
Take a look at his website (Sorry, in German  Roll Eyes )
He had several Lotus Omega's and other exclusive cars... I envy the b*sterd  Shocked Grin

Yep these fit perfect on the 296mm rotors, if your car has smaller rotors then they wont fit, you will have to upgrade to the bigger rotors.  The hubs should be the same.
I will set up another package for you and I will let you know when its ready for shipping.
