Posted 12/10/10 09:09 AM Share Posted 12/10/10 09:09 AM you will also now need lowered springs to fit the new tires on!And to be able to push all that extra weight you will need some more power on the car so you will have to get deka 60lb injectors and an internal fuel pump. To utilize those 2 though you will have to buy an X3 unit....and then you will need to take it all to a tuner to get it all sorted!list can keep going Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71034-brembos-to-good-to-pass-up/#findComment-1047086 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as you are putting on backwards it means the small piston is in the opposite position To where it's supposed to be but for 1100 you can't go wrong hey Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71034-brembos-to-good-to-pass-up/#findComment-1047090 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the FPV setup on mine and thought about going to 4 spot brembos if I could come across a set at the right price. But if I've got to change wheels and tyres as well......stuff that....I'll just have to live with the FPV deal...
