Mals BA XR6T Member 381 Member For: 22y 6m 14d Location: Sydney Posted 16/05/04 12:45 AM Share Posted 16/05/04 12:45 AM Guys,Can anyone give me some thoughts on replacement brakes (or kits) that work?I have had my rotors replaced/machined every 6000km, and I now have 30000km and it's ready for another ford "fix".I want rid of them (which I don't think is unreasonable) and am now looking for a full replacement.I'm happy to replace the rotors, pads and even fluid, but for obvious reasons I'm reluctant to replace the calipers (unless I'm told otherwise)Any thoughts (personal experience, real fix) would be fantastic.Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10758-replacement-brakes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better grip than standards and no warping. But plenty of brake dust Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10758-replacement-brakes/#findComment-122741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the pads dont last very long when u do some 'sporty' driving...they just dont stop the car. I'll be upgrading as soon as this house is sorted out.

Cebco do brembo's all round for $5,000 to $6000.00 ugh! you can also get the FPV spec brakes from PBR as well I believe.
