Powerbrake upgrade kit - anyone ?

Post by Warrior »

My 08 V6 now looks right, sounds right and pulls lekker !
But it cant stop !! :shock:
Any feedback on this kit ?
Their standard all terrain kit will fit with with my 15" mags.
Cost is more or less R3100 (discs and pads) plus R350 shipping and the fitment costs (almost nothing by Hoppy :mrgreen: )

Eben, you are aware that Powerbrakes are currently offering a discount on Vigo models? Speak to Clive Murphy at PB.

Have anyone installed this kit on their vehicle and what is the difference? If it is for the Dakar Hilux will my 15" rims still fit?

I have mine fitted (4x4 version) to Bulldog and it made a massive difference to the braking ability!
