ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 2m 28d Posted 26/02/11 07:26 AM Share Posted 26/02/11 07:26 AM Hi all,just wanted to find out what others have upgraded to with their BA brakes. Mines got the FPV premium upgrades on it but theyre sh*te. Im after black or blue calipers and dont really like the Brembos too much (my opinion). If anybody has any site links,pics or suggestions would be great,thanks.

If you don't like Brembos then you can look at AP Racing, Alcon etc.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73523-best-brake-upgrade-for-ba/#findComment-1084579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 2m 28d Posted 26/02/11 02:16 PM Author Share Posted 26/02/11 02:16 PM They get shudder too easily. All it takes is a few good runs at the strip and they get shudder. I have replaced rotors and pads 3 times in 4yrs and they work out to $720 each time. Im sure I could of got some descednt brakes for that much that would still be fine. Yeah,AP is what im looking at at the moment. Dont like the red to be honest so trying to get the black or silver.

If not what have you been replacing them with? AP is great gear from what I've heard but not cheap equipment.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73523-best-brake-upgrade-for-ba/#findComment-1084647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
