I tell u Ford should be made to put the premium jobs in for no more than what it would cost to option them, I asked a service mechanic and he said it would cost around 6000 to have the upgrade done now!!

This includes all brackets and braided lines. This set up WILL fit under a 17in wheel.Hope this helps..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Walker Guests Posted 25/09/03 05:34 AM Share Posted 25/09/03 05:34 AM Don't waste your money on rears unless you're doing serious track work or 'cos you like the look of 'em. The advantage is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're based in Canberra? No, not quite in Canberra, Murrumbateman to be exact! About 20 mins outside of the ACT. These blokes are very good when it comes to brakes, that is who I got all my gear through. I highly recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
