Fg Xr6 Turbo

[londas]

I have heard that the brakes on the FG XR6 Turbo are a little underdone

Has anybody experienced this?

Are there any brake upgrades out there that work in with the stability control and systems?

Londas,

It all depends on what you use the car for. My standard brakes were fine for the odd squirt around the streets and most applications under say 120kph. But once pushing the car to higher speeds and requiring repeated applications they do fade. That's why I opted for the DBA 4000s, ferodo pads and AP Fluid. Quite happy with them now and worked fine at Wakefield Park track a few weeks back.

Yeah im getting the parts together to do something very similar on my G6ET except im fitting the larger sized rear rotors and matching rear calipers from the territory (so same rear brake setup as the BF XR6T/XR8)

Reccomendations really depend on budgets. But for a basic upgrade & day to day driving what benny mentioned is perfrect for some while others may opt for a complete brake upgrade to something like what FPV offer or even something fancy to like AP/Brembo/Alcon/Harrop.

Last week I spoke with a guy who spent near 11k on a custom brembo kit for his Turbo Terri, bog stock with 26's going on it. Only wnated to fill the rims out .
