Could be fairly cheap and easily sourceable? Thoughts?

^^WTF? PS Iida have a pretty good rep, why doubt their brake upgrade?

The price listed includes the rotors, calipers, brackets and pads and is quite expensive... around 2K all up for FL models as far as i can tell. I wonder if the brackets alone are purchaseable so that we could source the rest ourselves from local wreckers.

Yeah, only 1500 for PFL. Wouldn't need anything i'd suspect as if you could source it all it would be comparatively easy and cheap to get some brackets made up. FL have got the easy path of squeaky brembo's so this would be nice for the PFL's like me out there

The brembo conversion still ends up costing around $1500-$2k depending on exchange rate if you buy the calipers from the US.

Calipers = $500-$800 (depending on exchange rate)
Rotors = $600 (for all four - im using RDA's)
Pads = $500 (for a really good set - im using project mu's)
Braided Lines = $250 (for all four)

The you've got smaller costs like re-painting the calipers, labour (if not doing it urself) etc...

Haha, sorry dude I don't doubt it, i'm sure they are legit and are a very good find, just those pictures look sus to me

I think Brembo's are just an easier option! The only benefit to these is that they fit under 16" wheels, but who wants to do that?
