Are there any brake packages out there that you know about that fit under the standard BF 17" wheels?

Well fronts are actually 3mm larger dia but 4mm thinner. The PBR performance brakes were the same as factory BA Premium.BF XR/Territory brakes322 mm x 28 mm vented front328 mm x 26 mm vented rearBA XR Premium/PBR Sports brakes325 mm x 32 mm vented front303 mm x 16 mm solid rearThe only real alternative apart from Brembo, AP Racing etc is turbo Territory fronts which are 340 mm x 32 mm (rears the same as std Terry/BF XR) but they are only available new genuine from Ford and are very expensive. There was another recent thread with prices but I CBF looking it up. Not sure what's involved with the conversion in any case, it might bolt straight on or it might require some modification. Not sure if anyone has actually done it due to the cost involved.Probably better if you are on a budget to keep what you have but upgrade to slotted rotors (say DBA 4000) and some type of performance orientated brake pads.

Adam also mentioned the "M-series" PBRs that he has been running - 6pistons - sounded awesome... (From memory, performance ford mag giving away a set somewhere???)In any upgrade, I would recommend going for braided lines - as pedal feel was significantly improved IMHOOut of interest, will the turbo territory 340mm x 32mm front rotors & calipers fit under 17" rims as EZ2CME was asking?

Where I went to school I was told that 328mm is 3mm larger than 325mm and 28mm is 4mm smaller (thinner) than 32mm.

You can see them on ebay.Race Brakes are also making a 355mm setup at the moment using a 2 piston front caliper (prob the same as the PBR kit's caliper). It might fit under a 17" rim....maybe. But again no ADR. It will be ready in a few weeks.Personally I'm hanging out until a PBR kit is available at a good price.As for the territory turbo brakes mentioned earlier, I priced them from Ford (only available there ATM) calipers $800 each and rotors $750 each...better off with 4 pistons for that price!
