Front brakes for a Harrison
I'll soon have a Harrison with the Nissan IRS and I've been looking at brake options for the Commodore hubs on the front. A lot of the stuff coming out of HSV (eg, ex Commodore stock prior to the HSV brake upgrades) is making it onto the internet and the prices seem reasonable.
A few questions to the Harrison owners out there: what have you used for the front discs and calipers and how effective has it been? What would you consider "too big" on the fronts when matched with the stock Nissan brakes on the rear? Has anyone used proportioning valves and to what effect?
I'm looking at these items on ebay:
VT 296mm TWIN PISTON FRONT BRAKE UPGRADE FOR VR-VS
VT COMMODORE BIG BRAKE CONVERSION VR VS V6 V8 PBR HSV
330mm twin piston brake upgrade for VR-VZ Commodores
If you search that particular ebay store you'll see that the kits go even bigger and so do the prices. I'm already thinking a 330mm rotor will be enough for an 1100kg Cobra.
