Cheers zorro, May I ask which set are cheaper of the 2? The ones I linked seem to have sold on here for 1700 ish and there the aps as you say! So the ones on eBay are better and more expensive cause there harrop? There at over 2k at the moment in eBay :( Pm sent knight

[surfwagon]

The Harrops were used on all sorts of HSV's from VT to the 05VZ R8's .
During the VY HSV started using AP's in the GTS coupe (6 spot fronts and 4 spot rears) and the F&R 4spot AP's were an option through most the VZ time.
I don't know if you would call one better than the other just different but the similar.
Harrops use 343x32 crossed drilled front discs and 315x18 vented crossed drilled discs on the rear (the rears are the same size as the performance 2 spot brake discs).
AP 4 spot are 350x32 slotted front discs and the rears are 332x32 slotted discs.
So as you can see the front AP's are bigger than Harrops and the AP rears much bigger.
BTW there were a few isolated cases of Harrop front brakes having one of the mounting legs breaking off, but as some of these brakes are reaching over 10 years old they may have just been fatigued.
Hope that helps you make a more informed decision.

thanks heaps for that surfwagon, so in conclusion would it be fair to say the harrops would be a touch cheaper being smaller discs? whats a good price to pay for a complete set? spewin the ones on ebay are over 2k already, i quite like the ones that just sold on here (link attached) and they seemed a pretty good price ay 1800ish
