Posted 14/06/09 05:55 AM Share Posted 14/06/09 05:55 AM surely the ~$2k you have to spend on Brembo's is better spent elsewhere Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58547-brembo-upgrade/#findComment-890747 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobrav8 Member 1,969 Member For: 20y 28d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 14/06/09 09:19 AM Share Posted 14/06/09 09:19 AM Dont buy them for the looks mate, save your money until you can spend it on a Turbo, or something else.But... if you want them to stop the car quicker - go for it. Bigger brakes will slow your car from 100kph just like on an F6 or a GTP. You may take longer to get to speed, but your car is just about as heavy as the other models. Remember you will need bigger 18s or 19s to go around the brakes as well, and the cost all adds up.

No one should ever be discourged from upgrading the shiity standard brakes that Ford puts on these cars.Brakes should always be the first upgrade before all the go fast bits. and the bembros wont fit 17's.I.B.
