Maybe give that a go as a cheaper then Brembo alternative.Pete Edited 04/07/10 11:03 AM by RHR No need to quote above post. USE FAST REPLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $2000 can't go past the 6 pots for value and stopping power. some of the speeds down the hill were a bit over the top but pulled up well.

F6turbo Member 172 Member For: 18y 5m 27d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 04/07/10 11:31 AM Share Posted 04/07/10 11:31 AM I thought the 2500's were only for brembos unless it was custom made? I have the Ferodo DS performance on the front and they performed very well. Nick let us know on the CB his brakes were gone so I overtook and went for more, then we hear him saying he could smell my brakes from 100-200m back. Its hard work pulling up a 1900kg Falcon with 300+ rwkw corner after corner.Riki I was looking at your rims/brakes at albion park, the argents + 6 potters look awesome. I thought you couldn't fit 245/35/20 on the front? Or does the FG allow for the larger 35 profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegSpec Cruise Control 1,417 Member For: 17y 11m 3d Gender: Male Location: Macksville NSW. Posted 04/07/10 12:05 PM Author Share Posted 04/07/10 12:05 PM Smicky (F6auto with brembos and ceramic pads), Martin(seducefastas)manual with stock FG brakes,.... myself and Ian(WLD460),both manuals with the FPV PBR premium brake with ultimate pads deal, all came back down the pass at a decent clip..... Smicky had no problems (as you'd expect), Martin said his were just starting to go away towards the bottom (still has stock fluid) but it was still fast enough to make his passenger throwup.... Ian and myself didnt have any problems either, but we both use our gearboxes to pull a lot of speed out of the car before we think about standing on the brakes.....

Even so they never showed signes of fade. though I also make use of the gearbox to wipe off some speed.. I would love bigger brakes but where does it stop with these things..
