I've got a complete standard BA XR6T brake set (off mine, I upgraded to brembos) for sale. That includes front and rear discs, calipers and brake lines. All within spec. $300 for the lot, if your interested.

Cheers

Robin.

Repco also sell the DBA Premium Brake kits that BCR01 is selling. They will cost around $1900 for the set (4 calipers and 4 rotors). The PBR kit is the same as the factory Premium brakes except slotted rotors instead of the eliptically grooved ones. And the calipers are red and have PBR stamped on them, but aside from that are exactly the same as Ford OEM Premiums (Premium rear calipers and discs are the same as standard BA XT/XR except for rotors being eliptically grooved).

MS700 can also source for you at a similar price the OEM Ford Premium brakes (either as a kit or just rotors if you prefer).

BCR01 is in Cairns I believe and MS700 is in Canberra so freight costs may be prohibitive.

If you want to go all out like MS700 and BCL have done for bigger than V8 Supercar brakes from AP Racing, Alcon or similar expect to spend close on $10K. There other less expensive options available from AP and Alcon, depending on your intended application and budget.

repco recently sent me a specials sheet with a new deal from pbr. is just front calipers, pads & slotted discs, was around 400 bucks from memory, seems cheap & all I could see was missing the braided hoses, might be worth checking out

THat sounds like a good offer especially from Repco. As the PBR/OEM upgrade does little to the rear brakes other than braided lines and slots in the rotors (as the rotor size and callipers are identical to the standard ones) it may be worth thinking about. That said, the braided lines front and rear with BCR's PBR package made an enormous contribution in firming the pedal feel.

PBR offer a sports brake kit which is nothing more than painted calipers your choice of coulours red, yellow, or black these have a RRP of $495.00 I would hazard a guess this is what you found. It is the same disc and caliper as the standard brakes so probably not that great If you want something performance.

Huge thanks to all who have responded to this Clarion Call. I have some irons in the fire that will get back to me next week for the brake kit. I'd like see what comes back in the way of quotes before moving on the more learned suggestions from Forum members. Ah! what a resource this site is !!!

again many thanks.

All that being said I think I rather like the idea of Red Calipers shining through the rims...

later dudes and dudettes !!!
