I'm a fan of the 4000 slotted rotors, ferodo DS pads and a good fluid like AP Racing stuff.Have a talk to Matt at Race Brakes and see what he has to offer.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mish Member 84 Member For: 15y 5m 11d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 19/05/09 03:01 AM Share Posted 19/05/09 03:01 AM So...first questions first...can this be done on the FG as well? I heard something about changning the brakes possibly causing issues with the electronics and computers and stuff?For an FG XR6T, is upgrading the lines, rotors and pads enough? You don't need to change the calipers? Is it possible to change calipers without effecting electronics?And lastly...is it that simple? Different rotors, lines and pads is all you need to make the stopping better? Normally I drive fairly "energentically" shall we say, so I would probably prefer to do it all round. But even at $1200 is seems like a bloody worthwhile thing to do. The brakes is the single thing that every review has complained about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great so far - good stopping power, no brake dust on my rims, no brake squeaking and thankfully, no brake shudder. Also cost me $482 all up including parts and fitting while I waited (45 mins) at Race Brakes in Yarraville VIC Edited 29/06/09 07:01 AM by EvilDaifu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
