Just one yeah?Yep just one.See, I think ford have just put whatever size they found lien around when they built these!!!!I'll find out tomorrow what the story is. I've googled, tried searching, and can't find anything about mk1 and mk2 bf differences. Only what Adam is saying about the vented/solid Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59988-303mm-rears-on-a-bfmkii-turbo/page/2/#findComment-912181 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Titan Ford (where I bought the car from) and they had a MKII in the yard with vented 328mm rears. The parts guy rekons there was no change to the rotor sizes from the BA XR6T to the BF XR6T, and showed me what HE claimed was the rotor I would get if I wanted new ones, measured them up and they were only 298mm.

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 2d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 26/07/09 09:20 AM Share Posted 26/07/09 09:20 AM Ok, just done some checking...I'm not sure on the dates but there was a specific build period where BF's had larger vented rear rotors fitted to the XR6T and XR8.So no one has been screwed and got "BA brakes instead of BF brakes".If you're replacing your rotors then check actually what's on your car and make sure you get the same.

majin Member 40 Member For: 17y 8m 16d Gender: Male Location: BrisVegas Posted 30/07/09 07:19 AM Author Share Posted 30/07/09 07:19 AM Well, thanks Adam! Ford pretty much said the same thing. Its just a bit sad I think, to keep switching the brakes over. 328 Rears would of been good but I guess the fronts do most of the work anyhow!Sorry if I seemed to go off the wall....was just really surprised but I'm happy nowGot it done today, DBA Slotted in front, bendix ultimates front and rear and some decent fluid, left the rear discs alone.What can I say, whoever is thinking about doing this and isn't sure, let me tell you that it is a must for ALL XR6's turbo or non and XR8's! Lots more response, better feel, don't find yourself braking to hard and the harder you are, the better they get!

Solid rears..........probably (definately) should've eyeballed them before I ordered my new rotors and pads . Just sort of assumed they were 328mm. Anyway, will keep newly puchased rotors and pads and get correct size calipers installed.

Herbmiester Member 2 Member For: 15y 11m 22d Gender: Male Location: Wellington Posted 28/08/09 10:42 AM Share Posted 28/08/09 10:42 AM I have an 03/07 BF2 with 303 rear rotors. Can I swap to the 328mm rotors or do I need to change calipers as well?

Can I swap to the 328mm rotors or do I need to change calipers as well?According to a reliable source, you will need to get hold of rotors that fit the 328mm rotor size because the calipers on 303mm rotor simply will not fit.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/59988-303mm-rears-on-a-bfmkii-turbo/page/2/#findComment-926418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
