What Size Rotors On Fg Xr6T Ute - Upgrade Options

[rockafellqeinstien]

Ok, I have 110,000 and the original rotors are craptastic. Jump on the stoppers from "THE LEGAL LIMIT" and the car vibrates more than ugly chick's "neck massager" (FG xr6t ute)

I am thinking about going dba or rda slotted but cant nail down the rear disc size 100%.

I am pretty sure it is a 298mm solid disk but not sure on the thickness (16mm?).

rda dont ahve a catalogue and the ute doesnt come up on the dba site.

any ideas would be appriciated (other wise I have to waste another day doing the measurements the hard way.

Cheers,

Hi Mate,

The rear rotor on a FG ute is a 303mm rotor (16mm thickness).

I only promote DBA but can offer RDA if that's what you really wish to opt for. I believe the DBA's are still a better quality rotor.

Prices to replace your 4 rotors would be:

303mm DBA 4000 (Rear) - $149each

322mm DBA 4000 (Front) - $219each

Guys I have the DBA 4000 slotted all round with Bendix Ultimates...and I still keep getting quite severe brake shudder when stopping from speed.

I have cleaned hubs when installed etc...but still I get the shudder...is there anything I can do to permanently solve my shudder problem...

Sorry to Hyjac the the post...

Go dba before rda...

Rda warped much quicker on my last ba... Actually dbas didn't warp...

after a bit of a search I think I am going to try the rda's - mainly because I am a tight arse and it seems no brand is 100% imune from the dreaded shudder issue.

All I know is my fronts have shiney spots all over them and you can feel the brakes grab at all speeds (down to 1kmh). I think if you dont get pulsing at very low speeds it could be your bushes.

I am going to clean up the hubs and paint them with some high temp paint to stop rust and really make an enffort to get those wheels torqued up properly and square. Then bed them in exactly as per the manufacturers instruction and see how I go (with new pads also).

Thanks for the heads up on the sizes

Best of luck doing another 110K on the RDA's.

Let me know the price of the RDA's and I will see if it can be matched.

Boost69,

I'd be getting rid of those Bendix pads. I've had problems with Bendix on my old Falcon and replaced them with only 5000k's on them. I have 4000's with Ferodo DS pads and have no issues.
