Big brake package for the front
 

Look what I just finished getting together for the front D30.

I designed the brackets in CAD and had them laser cut and then machined up some bosses that were then tig welded on to them. It was then all plated. The braided stainless steel brake lines ( longer than stock for lifted Jeeps ) are custom made with the Ford metric fitting for the caliper and the Jeep at the other end. Brackets to hold them are out of stainless steel. The calipers are the new design twin piston Ford BA Falcon brakes by PBR and look the same as the 2006 Mustang with 300 mm slotted rotors. The pads are a police special compound. All bolts needed as well.
The company that got me all the contacts and paid up front for the things used are going to sell them as a complete kit as shown. There will be no welding necessary but cutting off the old caliper brackets will need to be done.
Will start fitting them tomorrow but am waiting on some new hubs that I want to change at the same time to arrive this week I hope. Otherwise will put them together with the old ones and fit the new hubs later.
There will also be a 325 mm rotor with special FPR calipers option too but you will need 17" wheels for that. I think these are just going to fit into 15" rims so long as the BS is around 3.75".
What do you all think? Total price will be around $700 AUD plus freight. The company ( Competition Engineering ) be happy to have distrubutors too if anyone is interested?

Excellent work Marcus! im sure this will sell like mad! its great that someone has finnaly CUSTOM made and brought out a kit to give the front end better brakes! this looks of very good quality, im sure if i had 700 spare ide buy a set this split second off you.

congrats man!

ps. time to start on a rear end kit... hehe

Are these just for XJ's ?

So will they fit inside stock rims or is the backspacing on them not right.

Cheers

Oooh.. and tax time approaches. :)

Go Jeep

This brake package looks excellent.
Where can I order from ?

These brakes will bolt onto the front of any Dana 30 for a TJ, XJ or ZJ.
I already have done a rear Falcon conversion for the D35 and just did one last week for my new D44 as well using Falcon discs as well. Wish I was getting money for any of this!
They are not ready to be sold this week as I will be writing up the instructions for it after I fit them today. I will do the write up and instructoins no later than next week as have to finish it off as want to do them before I leave for Africa for 6 weeks at the end of next week. :)
You can contact the company already if you like at: competitionengineering@optusnet.com.au They already export up-grade upgrade kits for Commodores, HSV's and Monaro's etc to New Zealand and the UK. http://stores.ebay.com.au/MR-SPARES_...Q3amesstQQtZkm
I tried on my stock steel wheel as I was making up this kit and it looked like it would just clear but will have to check it once I have it completed as caliper placement might not have been in the final postion then. I will be test fitting a AR 15" wheel ( Nitro ) with 3.75 of BS when I get back as I dont think I can get hold of a wheel before then? Some clearancing of the caliper just on the forward edge maybe needed where it also safe to do it and they will look at that before hand and will offer that as a service for extra cost. Might have to come with the polished option they also offer for more bling. ;)
