    I agree, most of the kits you see for sale in the Australia are one of these two kits:

    4 spot

    The main issues most people have with these kits is that the calipers flex and the rotor is narrower than the standard one.  The other thing I'm not a big fan of withe these kits is how they mount to the disk spindle. The holes they use for mounting the caliper are 3 bolts for the heat shielding. I just dont know if the standard spindles are designed to take a load like that.
     
    But this kit look a lot better and uses a completely different caliper and uses the standard mounting holes.

    I have not seen any reviews from Australia on this kit but It look a lot better to me.
     
    The only issues are that you have to run a minimum of 17"s
     
    Crazy 2287 is this similar to what you ordered and what application were you going to use them?

    Gold XR got a reaction from gerg in XR Falcon track car set up.   
    Hi Guys
    Im after some advice in regards to setting my XR falcon for track duties.
     
    Currently the car has a 1" Shelby drop, Xf spindles, Clevo King springs in the front (think they are lows) GT leaf pack with a added rebound spring, konis all round and a 28mm sway bar up front.
     
    I have entered it into a few hill climbs and have done fairly well, but I want to start doing some track days.
     
    I was told buy another guy that races a XY (it is stupid quick) that I really need to lower my car, dial about 3' of neg camber and use 700 pound springs in the front.
     
    I feel that my car is already fairly low but his is heaps lower but I don't understand stand how he gets his car to sit so low. Would need significant modifications I would think.
     
    What do you think the optimal height would be for a dedicated track car?
     
    Dose 700 pound springs sound about right and were would I go to get springs like that.
     
    Sorry for all the newbie questions
     
    Cheers,
    Ryan
