Looks like I seem to be another victim of the old BA brakes on the BF!I've been doing research and finally decided to upgrade my rotors to DBA4000, set of pads and good fluid. But now that I decided to actually check my brakes and make sure they all measure up....I realize that the rears are 303mm, and not vented, which means they are BA!!!! My car is a DEC07 Build BFii, not BFi!!!! XR6 Turbo "By Craig Lowndes" and its got the damn BA Brakes!!!!Obviously first thing tomorrow morning I'm ringing up ford....but I just can't believe this....I mean how do they put old brakes on a new cars!!!!!! I could understand if it was one of the first BF's, but gee, its one of the last ones!!!Maybe I should recheck the fronts, they might be BA brakes to!!!Has there been many others who have had this problem??? Ford better replace them!!! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59988-303mm-rears-on-a-bfmkii-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
