For some reason it took me to the sucky PB mobile site, go to the bottom and click view full website and it should work.

Also, the guy that fabbed up the bracket and other conversion parts to put on our Holden crap, just fit a new Brembo Monoblock to the car. I needed a cigarette after seeing this. These pics are with teh optional 18's on a GTO.

ZR1 brakes are about $9,000 and well my Continental DWS's can't really handle any more brake.

I think those rotors are probably bigger than an entire Bonneville wheel!

Really couldn't the stock brakes drop the anchor just as fast? Seems traction is the issue, not brake pad / rotor size.. this would certainly be worth it on a track car, or a vehicle that sees a lot of autocrossing where brake fade would be an issue, other then that I just don't really see the value here outside of cosmetics / looking badass.... and they do look badass!

Well after doing a stop from 100 or so and looking at the four black lines my tires left behind, I would say they are pretty much useless in a dd. Four black marks mean my back brakes are slowing me a lot too.

But they are really good at repeated stops and for getting lots of questions at the alignment shop.
