Morgan Member 4 Member For: 15y 7m 29d Posted 22/08/09 05:40 AM Share Posted 22/08/09 05:40 AM I have an ex NSW cop car BA XR8 and am not sure if I have the premium brake option. The brakes are silver (bare) PBR calipers at the front and the rears have the eliptical groove in the discs. I am buying new rotors and need to specify which I have. Can anyone help me identify them without pulling the wheel off or posting pics?Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 22/08/09 10:15 AM Share Posted 22/08/09 10:15 AM if the calipers are bare and not powder coated black with FORD lettering or blue with FPV lettering, I dare say they are standard fronts.
