They'll do the job unless you want it for looks or serious track work but you'd be using different rims anyway Edited 06/11/11 11:23 AM by FG50T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 19/01/12 10:06 AM Share Posted 19/01/12 10:06 AM I'm looking at the same upgrade.Don't want to change wheels. PWR also do Alcon. They do a 336mm disc for FG with 4 spot monobloc caliper. I have an email exchange going on with them now about an intercooler and also a few Q's about the brakes as to whether they fit behind the OEM option 19" wheel.http://www.pwr.com.au/#/view=products/s=bs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 335mm kit is close to factory size in discs but far better swept area with the 4 spot caliper.Who knows... I didn't even know PWR did Alcon... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
