andrich Member 94 Member For: 15y 9m Posted 19/06/11 01:22 PM Author Share Posted 19/06/11 01:22 PM Hey guys,Just thought id share my experience of fitting G6ET brakes to my BA.I was lucky enough to score the brakes of ebay for....$127.50 . That included Brand new rotors, pays, calipers and hoses.I bought them with mixed info as to whether they would actually fit up to my BA, but I thought it was well worth the gamble.For abit extra stopping power I bought a pair of Greenstuff pads and decided to paint them red while I was at it.Well after an afternoons work they are fitted up and everything works as it should In order to get them to fit up you must use the Left FG caliper on the Right side of a BA, and vise versa. I was able to use the original BA hoses.I wasnt able to get a good pic of the brakes with the wheels back on but I will get some tomorrow. 1st pic- New brakes being fitted2nd pic- New brake complete (left side)3rd pic-old, standard brakes (Right side)4th-Crappy bic of brakes with wheel onHope ya like em!!!cheersMichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrich Member 94 Member For: 15y 9m Posted 11/08/11 02:54 PM Author Share Posted 11/08/11 02:54 PM ummm yeh I cant see why not! you'll just have to use your right BA on the left FG and vice versa. but FG brakes are better....Theres no brackets as such, the left FG caliper fits and lines up to the right BAcheersmichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just fit calipers, or discs as well?? BF and FG XR6T and XR8 front brakes have the larger 322mm rotor compared to the 298mm fitted to std BF FG and all non upgraded BA cars.The brake pad is the same but the caliper is different to a point as it has to sit higher to fit over the 322mm disc.
