I noticed that the eBay ad for both front and rear was a $1000 more than the front on their own so guess just the rears will be a little more than that. There is a lot of time machining things like drilling the flange holes in the backing plates, opening up the centre hole, shaving a little off the mount bosses as well as removing part of the BA ABS mount. The spacers have to be milled down to the right thickness as well as drilling the flange holes and milling the centre bore. The seal spacer rings are fully machined on a CNC mill both inside and out and paired off at the exact width needed and then sent off to be plated. Even the rotors get the centre hole taken out a touch to fit the Jeep axle and get slotted and then plated. The braided lines have to be made and tested at high pressure and even the hard ine end get a small mod on the mill so it fits into the stainless steel bracket plus a special blocking plug for the extra port. The 8 grade 8 bolts to bolt it to the axle aren't cheap along with the 4 12.9 grade ones to bolt the caliper to the backing plate. Even the included handbrake lines are going to be worth around $200 I am told and I still have to design them along with the brackets to hold the cables which will have to be welded and plated. Of course there is also the expense of the calipers themselves as well as the new pads to go along with them. That is just what I can think of on the top of my head!

You order direct now but it might be a week before they send out as I have to fit in some tests for the doctors to see if I have a hole in my heart before I can sit my scuba exam. Email them at: competitionengineering@optusnet.com.au
Need your help too for the TJ owners to work out the handbrake cable length. Can someone please measure vertically from the bolt ring part of the diff cover to the floor and then forward to where the outer hand brake cable housing ends. I just need that distance in the horizontal plane. I then need the length of the inner that is exposed from there to its end please. These two measurements will give me the position of where the outer starts under the floor in relation to the back of the rear axle.
