XYGT351PHASE3 Member 27 Member For: 16y 2m 13d Gender: Male Location: W.A. Posted 26/07/10 09:58 AM Share Posted 26/07/10 09:58 AM Since I upgraded to 6 pot Brembos up front on my ute, I personally believe a waste of money. The extra money spent could have been used to repair it after turning the DSC switch off and losing control hitting a kerb.....Different story for my F6 with six pot front and 4 pot rear...I reckon the front/back brake bias(?) after upgrading is all wrong. I believe the Ford dealer who didn't have a problem selling the upgrade shouldn't have as something not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is probably zero difference on the street but I want to keep rotor temps down as much as possible at the track. The solid rear discs also warped early. Possibly due to my adrenalin enhanced stupidity by pulling on the handbrake in the pits after a session during my early track days with the car!

I havnt seen a FG turbo with those rear rotors yet.That means they would be the same rear rotors as what is on the non turbo Falcons.Can I ask what year and month build your FG is? My FGXR6T was one of the first out. I was one of the extra keen original idiots that waited ages for one on order and paid big $$!!. Think I placed an order around May 2008, got it end of July 2008. Has over 90,000kms on it now and couldn't be happier with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The premium kit for the BA xr's only had 303mm solid rears. The kit you got off me, I got the 328mm vented rears seperate to the fronts. Plus the fronts are different too, 325mm(BA) to 322mm(FG) with different calipers Edited 28/07/10 04:50 AM by RHR No need to quote above post.
