Default 03 BA XR6T brake upgrade

mate wondering if u can tell me what it costs to upgrade brakes? I am not after race brakes, but the standard brakes in these cars are rubbish, so i would like something at least a notch up from standard. i am finding they shudder a bit once they get warm, other than that i dont find them too bad for stopping ect. Part of my drive home from work involves a 10km decent and usually by the bottom there's a bit of a shake happening!

You could run the BF XR6T brakes which are 322mm fonts but i have no calipers at the moment and costs you under $1000 with braided front lines and slotted rotors.

Yes we can. There are options available but it all depends on how much you want to spend and if they fit under your wheels. You can PM me if you feel that is better.
