The BF mk1 received a valve spring upgrade and the BF mk1 received typhoon rods in April 06.

On Nizpro web site there was concern going around about the MK 2 rods but nizpro said it wasnt an issue.

No squeal with moderate braking.No squeal with other braking, including left foot braking to load up torque converter to stay on boost... using throttle modulation to initiate downshift, or, using throttle modulation to smooth downshift initiated by triptronic. No loss of performance in brakes whatsoever. Auto sometimes goes into limp mode a few minutes after the event.No squeal either with bonkers Porsche pilots seeking the limits of Ford braking performance and endurance. No loss of performance... and... very happy to be watching from the sideline.Second set of rotors and pads seem to have less squeal on light braking. Performance remains the same.Regards,aa Edited 07/05/07 09:29 PM by aiboart Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34746-quick-questions-you-ppl-may-be-able-to-help-me-with/page/2/#findComment-529771 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those terri rotors must be it.The tail lights are a normal globe setop, but they have done a good job in making them look like a LED setup. And front flaring around the foggies for BF's onwards.
