Hey Pops, those are the same PBR calipers I used on the front of mine along with a set of 330mm rotors. Surprisingly the combination of 330mm rotors and aluminium hubs weighed abbout the same as the Jag jobbies. The PBR calipers weigh a fraction of the Jag ones. They are die cast aluminum with a cast steel slider bracket. The PBR caliper is physically about the same size as the Jag unit but it has a lot more pad surface area. The jury is out as to whether they stop any better than the Jag units though. Being a late model Holden Commodore caliper there is a big selection of pads available for them.

Worth considering even for use with stock Jag rotors.

Cheers
