I found these on ebay, just want to see what anyone thinks of them.

This is not a bad deal, and no you do not have the calipers already, as the standard brakes are only 298 mm diameter, and would not fit these larger discs.

The brakes are pretty close to the 'premium' brake option Ford fitted to the BA's, except the disc is thinner in this setup (28 mm vs. 30 mm)

There is no question that these will perform better than stock brakes, just dont expect them to be track brakes, coz that they are not.

There are no brackets on the front brakes, they bolt directly onto the front suspension member, so no they are not the same calipers.

Actually, I think the caliper section that's painted blue is the same as the BA. The part that's still silver (bracket?) is different to go with the larger rotor. I found this out when I was investigating Terry brakes, and I ended up with some from a BF. The actual pad and caliper is the same. You can check a catalog, I looked in a Ferodo one, same pad number for Terry and BA.

They are better brakes though, and when coupled with the Terry rears, slotted rotors, QFM pads and braided lines all round, they work a treat, I love them. They are not track pads, but I'm a street guy so they are perfect for me.

There has been a lot of carry over with brakes since AU2 from PBR. They only change what they have to.

And that is a damn good price for what you get. Price the calipers by themselves and you'll be close to that total amount, so to get slotted rotors (even RDA's) and pads and hoses is a bit of a bargain.
