Ba Pbr Vs Bfi Xr6T Vs Bfii Xr6T

[Maximus]

I have the PBR Muscle kit and for general fanging around they work great.

They took a beating coming down Mt Baw Baw and hardly noticed them fade at all.

Best part is they fit under the standard 17in rims.

The calipers aren't the C6's but they have thicker castings so dont flex as much as the stock ones.

The kit comes with braided lines which you will notice more so make sure you fit them.

The front does most of the braking so you will be fine with the standard ones on the back I think.

If you are looking at track days, more than 3 laps, then save some coin and go Brembos.

Cheers

I have seen the the BA premos/FPV front calipers refered to as both C5 and C6. They were used in the 97-00 corvette C5 hence the reference to C5. The Pads I got right now are actually labelled for corvette but any decent brake shop would work out what pads you want if you say you have Falcon BA premium brakes.

Having had BA std, BF XR6T's and now currently BA premos, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that BA premos sh*t all over the BF fronts. Get the premos if you can.

You could source those PBR ebay kit for $1100 and brand new BF rears with rda slotted rotors for ~$650 from racebrakes. Althought I did price that a few months back now.

oh and btw The pbr FPV BA rears were also 303mm

Have a look here for the info of the PBR kit.

the problem with that kit is the rears are only 303mm. May aswell keep the BA standard rears and paint them. I have seen them on ebay fronts only for $1100.

That would be the way I would like to go with C5/C6 style calipers at front with 325mm vented discs and the territory rear calipers and 328mm vented discs on the rear.

Just on another note, might have to call my insurance comapany, the full PBR PK8 kit be ADR approved. As was fitted to BA falcons as an option. What is the go with mixing the parts of the diffrent models and fitting them? They would have to comply to the original cars obviously. So will the insurance company and cops like the above mod. Or would it just be best to go with the full PBR PK8 kit?

And what size are the territory rear discs? Are they actually 328mm.

Thanks

Hi again,

I went with the full PBR PK8 kit.

Can pay it off through work account.

Hope it is pretty good. Will follow up once fitted.

See ya.

Unless you want to circuit race, you really don't need anything better than the PBR C6 front on some quality vented rotors and perhaps the Terri rear upgrade. And make sure it's the C6 and not C5. The C6 is a much stiffer calliper than the C5.

The PK8 kit is quite good, I have it on my car and its put up with about 30,000k's of hard driving and a couple of circuit days (just fun stuff, not competition) and they are still ok, no warping at all.

Gday Mate,

This is what I was interested in too.

Can any one on here confirm that the caliper in the PBR PK8 upgrade kit is a C6?

Not that it really matters to me as I have bought this kit already.

Just curious now. I might have to check with pad part numbers on the Net to see if anything crosses over.

Thanks Guys.
