I need to replace my brakes for my n/a xr6, and ive been told about a brake upgrade as this will determine the type of pads I need. How do I tell without taking my wheel off if I have the brake upgrade?I bought the car 2nd hand and the guy I bought it off never mentioned itCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
