Morgan Member 4 Member For: 16y 1m 8d 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.

Rear caliper is std Al.Both Front and Rear discs used the 'eliptical' groove pattern.The car in question sound like it has standard brakes with a premium disc at the rear.Regards,aa Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60888-do-i-have-premium-brakes/#findComment-923616 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.
