My honda discs are going in today and they will be transport approved. :D

I'll let anyone interested know how it goes.

The rear bump stops & front shocks go in as well.

It took longer than expected, they work great.

Don't know the total cost yet (the next set they do will be cheaper).

They are a transport aprroved mod, just need to put my new flares on.

Done by Willson Automotive.

Things I may do down the track:

1. Fit cooper rear cylinders
2. Green stuff pads.

I would recommend this mod, its half the price of anything else.

Fellas,
check with your state first before rushing out and putting on your custom discs. I checked with QLD transport as I have custom 10.5inch discs made and apparently the engineer certificate is not enough. I have to take the brakes for some sort of brake test that is done on a rolling road thing. Apparently they are a bitch to get passed despite how good they work. Go figure!!!

Sorry no pics, they have to approve each set they install, i'll end up with a plate under the bonnet saying that the brakes are approved for my car only.
