xb99 Member 90 Member For: 17y 1m 19d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 05/04/14 12:07 AM Author Share Posted 05/04/14 12:07 AM HeySo this is what I ended up with. Problem is, I dont think something is right...(In case this is a stupid question, don't worry, I wasn't planning to fit these myself)I'm meant to have the PBR BA premium brakes, that take 325mm discs, matching qfm a1m pads, and matching t3 4000. I saw the calipers on a BA before the wrecker removed them, so if they are wrong, I have no idea what they are!* The pads are bigger than the existing ones in the calipers, I dont see how they could possibly fit.* The discs are fatter than the caliper spacing (the calipers look partly closed, but I'm not sure what they are meant to look like).Whats part is wrong, or am I missing something? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discs are correct. Pads are correct.They are a C4 caliper. They can fit BA with the right bracketThe fit looks like this to suit BA Edited 05/04/14 12:54 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(c4 corvette) No reason they shouldn't work on the front of a b series considering the front end is essentially the same AU to BF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take them back and get the correct calipers. The discs you have are 325mm x 32mm Edited 05/04/14 01:18 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he will let me swap them so all is good.Has someone got a pic of exactly what the BA Premiums look like? Dont want to end up with something weird!

They also come in black.Did you get the discs off him. I bet the discs on the car your calipers came of weren't 325 x 32See post 11. Yellow calipers (painted). The C5 C6 calipers have a small cutout top centre. The STD BA BF FG PBR calipers dont have this. Edited 07/04/14 02:15 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are made to suit AU2 and AU3 but will fit BA BF FG. Tell him you want a discount for being f*cked around. What did you pay for the calipers $100 each? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
