Just calipers need changing. Pretty sure the rotors sizes are standard between 4 and 6 pot.

Utes didn't get the upgraded rears in the FG. A few people have put the 6/4 package on, but have experienced pad knock-off. I know the BA and BF's you could option the big brakes, so I'm not too sure of the inherent differences between the B series and the F series.

I'd factor in for some stronger upper control arm bushes too. The 6 pots, with the increase braking force, have a tendency to cause the wheel to camber in. This basically squashes the bush and causes the whole front end to shake.

I'd be interested in a set of 6 spots......

I'm setting up my BF for supersprint work and I can't see the current FPV PBR deal being anywhere near good enough...

I've got the territory ventilated setup on the back and it's been fine so far but need to upgrade the fronts....;)

Ok....so we have a set of 6 spotters and rotors to suit.....
Biggest problem is now my BF XR6 18' wheels don't fit.....they foul the wheel spokes by a good 12mm or so...:(
Does anybody know where I can get a set of longer studs?

You will need to replace the wheels.

That's what's required when going to the big Brembo calipers - there is only a handful of wheels that fit.

The only Ford ones that clear are the BA XR8 18" rims. All of the FPV rims will clear.
