Does Bf Typhoon Brakes Fit Bf Xr8

[zakxr8]

Does BF Typhoon 4 spot Brembos with 355mm crossdrilled rotors front and PBR single piston rears with 328mm crossdrilled ventilated rotors fit BF XR8 with PBR front 2 piston 322 rotor & rear 1 piston 328 rotors

Yes....it's the same car, your only problem will be if your wheels will fit over the calipers.

Tanks for the reply, I have FPV replica 19†rims.

bit of an add on question to this thread . . .

Is everything other than the rotors and calipers the same throughout all model ranges BA/BF?

For example is the master cylinder on a BA Xr8 the same as what is on a BFMk2 Typhoon?

Correct mate the brakes are a bolt on kit as everything is identical.

that's good news. I was researching putting them (or AP Racing or similar brakes) on my BF2 'T', and was told that the master cylinder needed ugrading to handle to extra fluid volume and then I would have brake balance problems, because the front brakes will get less pressure because of the greater fluid volume compared to the back or some sh*t. I ended up thinking it was too difficult and never looked any further into it.

Has anyone actually done it? I would be interested to hear their thoughts or look at their build thread...

I put 6 and 4 piston brembo on typhoon that had blue FPV brakes. Every thing is fine. I called the tech department at PBR and he said all master cylinders are different, but it is only the crack pressure. ( the timing of, and,pressure between front and rear)

Iv'e sold probally 2 dozen sets in the last year, half of these being the big 6/4 pot kits. To date no issues at all, I know atleast 5 of the guys regularly track their cars without an issue.

Do you distribute them or just wreck FPVs?

Either way, can you PM me with a rough quote/price so I can look into it again?

Cheers mate,
