My CV8 Big Brake upgrade

[Waynew]

Last weekend I got keen and fitted a set of AP Racing brake calipers and bigger rotors to my 04 CV8 Monaro, was a pretty straight forward job, except I pulled the front struts out as well, put some King springs in and some new bushes around the place. WOW what a difference in stopping power, and looks a lot better lowered all round as well, just got to fit a rear camber kit now, one side is -1.7 and the other -2.0, and do something about those crappy rashed and scraped wheels.

Nice car and upgrades. I've got an 03 cv8 which I hope to do the same upgrades one day. what are the king springs part numbers did you put in?

The brakes look good, look bigger than what they are inside those wheels.

I used KHFL-47 fronts, and KHRL-46 springs in the rear, I found you must replace the top strut bushes with the bearing as well if they are stock, as they compress about an inch at least with wear.
