just to add, not for track use thats for sure!

Being a Python you would have a Jag front end but George has many different brakes kits he fits at the customers requests.
George might have all the specs on your chassis if you need to know.
They look like the HQ ones that I have from that photo but would need a look at the slides or back of the calliper. The HZ ones I had looked different from yours, but there is a chance that they might not have been what I thought they were.
I spoke to Howard at Race Brakes Melbourne and showed him what I had and he told me that they can stick and they do wear one pad more than the other as you say.
I run the HQ calliper on the front with the standard rotor on my XY and they worked fine on track for that chassis, (standard road car)

I am glad you have not had any issues with yours and are happy with them.
At the end of the day thats al that counts.

I only went with these as I stated before because I had them.
There is defiantly a improvement with the bigger brakes now and the more I drive it now the more awesome I think they are.
Its a little hard to test them out on the road properly with out drawing attention from the cops or have some one run over me.

Cheers

Ross
