I have just purchased a au3 xr8 Ute. The calipers are sticking as it has been sitting for years. I want to know if anyone has had experience with the attached brake upgrade kit on eBay?
It looks ok. TIA. Cheers I cannot send the attachment. Anyway it is the 322 rotors and calipers to match for $750. RDA from Melbourne are selling them. |

The calipers will be sticking because of the caliper pistons. They are a type of plastic (the name escapes me at the moment) and swell up.
They can be easily replaced with steel pistons. If you want to upgrade to the 322mm rotors make sure that you are buying the whole kit - calipers, brakets, rotors and brake lines. It is hard to comment on the kit that you are referring to without a direct link. EDIT: Give Racebrakes Sydney a call. Very knowledgeable and great prices. |

Just for info IMHO they used RDA as its close to DBA who are the actual Oz leaders in manufactured discs. I brought some RDA's a few years ago for a 4WD and they were total crap, very rough and not even straight etc so they went in the bin.
I recently put a full set of DBA's on my FG ute and they weren't super expensive so as mentioned give Racebrakes Sydney or others a call to check what they have and costs etc. Refurbished calipers are also not super expensive. Those RDA discs are cheap **** and would make me wary. |
