Thread: FUN101 in Melbourne

You can count me in.
Disc brakes would be a great improvement.

Those disc brakes sound fab don't they, once you have modified them to fit inside the rims, I believe they are jag discs(rotors to you) and calipers, don't know the model though

If you need more for a group buy ............

Hi folks. I put Zeus disk brakes on my 101 front and rear December 2012.
A great improvement. I found it best to ring them as they don't return emails too promply. Alison anmd Mark Cartwright

I bought 2 sets front and back for 2 cars plus 2 spare disks for each 101
The cost was $6116 but then customs and GST cost another $924.
I asked them to pack in seperate parciles and label each one ,under $1000
They packed as I asked but put the full invoice on each parcile.
We had a few fitting problems but nothing we couldn't solve. The front calipors needed about 5 or 6 mm ground off . It took 2 machanics and 2 laymen one day to do the job. Hope this helps

How'd you go for engineering Gary? Was it straight forward? I didn't realise they did front and rear sets. Do you know if you can run just the fronts or is it designed to be run with front and rear discs only?

Doesn't seem to badly priced considering how much stuff you bought. God idea getting the spare discs too. That should last you a while.

So I take it that it costs about $1500 plus GST etc for just one front set.

Garry (the way it should be spelt)

Thats right. Well worth it especially if you have a load like a motor home.

I think that is reasonably good value. I am reasonally happy with the braking ability of the 101 with the drums even loaded up but its darting all over the road when braking heavily that reduces its abilities - even when the brakes are new and adjusted correctly.

If these are supposedly for 101s and I see you have standard wheels, I am a bit concerned that the kit requires some modifications to fit.

It is a shame they do not respond to emails though - maybe not as professional as I had hoped.
