I run drilled/slotted Brembo's on my BF GT which I also drag at Willowbank , but huge brakes aren't really necessary for the drags as stock brakes work fine with quality brake pads fitted.
All the diff parts were bought new on ebay.

I will never understand how parts are cheaper on E-Bay,unless they are 2nd hand un-used than getting them direct from the original supplier

thats just it sometimes people buy parts and never fit them which was the case with the Harrop diff cover $350 del./and truetrac $500 delivered, the guy had bought them and never got around to fitting them before he sold the car. Also some of the ebay stores don't have wages rent or other overheads so they can discount prices further then conventional parts shops.

Don't mind these, I have a pair on my vx ss, its black so they blend in really well.

GT-I9100T

Do you have any pics of the Black SS ?

Eventually fitted the QFM A1RM 1331 front brake pads today and Im pretty happy with them after the bed in process and letting them cool again I took it for a good drive
the QFM's have great stopping & pedal feel only trade off is a little more brake noise but well worth it for the stopping ability.
