I've been discussing it with a workshop for a while now, just not enough interest to gain momentum. IF you're interested, let me know.

These will stop as good as OEM Brembos for a lesser price. They will also clear many more wheel options, too. :)
is that available to everyone? if only you its no help to others is it

Available to everyone, just needs a donor car and a buyer for the initial set.

no HSV run brembo as oem brakes, i think the fpv do

gotta agree with shano, weight plays a big part in brake system required.
Not a soobi anymore, but still slightly dirty

HSV use AP as OEM.

FPV use Brmebo as OEM

all the cars on the list are either heavier or lighter . clubsport 1812kg down to 860 kg for the lotus and the lib was the worst that blow your theory out of the water . its the brake pads that are mostly making the difference in a 100km/h to zero test when fade and repeatability come in to it ie doing multiple laps on a race track and im sure the brembos on the lib would shine but we drive on the street not a race track and the 5 meters longer to stop could be the difference between life and death

Got any pics or links on what this might look like?

I haven't got pics at the moment, but you would be able to use the medium casting caliper on most applications, this is a beefy looking caliper.

When they are repainted, you can get them laser etched in whatever you want. I've seen Sumitomo calipers painted red with Brembo stencilled on it, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you were rebuilding them.
