Have an Fg XrT with 6 piston brembo upgrade on front.

Standard rear brakes are now looking terrible behind new Vertini 20" staggered setup and require immediate attention!!!!!! It is a 08 xr and the rear brakes are puny at 298mm I think. Anyone upgraded to something larger????

And will the brembo 4 piston rear fit behind my new rear wheels that have a huge (4 odd inches) lip??

Options/opinion is much appreciated

Nice, I'm about to install a 6/1 setup myself with the larger territory rear caliper on 328mm rotors. This is a pretty good setup and given the fronts do most of your braking you might as well save your money on the 4 pots, and these give you a decent upgrade over stock.

The GT comes standard with the large rear caliper and 4 pot brembo up front.

Hit up race brakes Sydney, they'll sort you out with the rears!

Sounds like a plan!!

Territory upgrade should be more than enough.

I am really only doing the upgrade for the aesthetic appeal. It's only a street car with occasional back road blast.

I have genuine brembo disks up front and will have to ask the guys at Race brakes what disk looks closest to the the original.

Yeah Matt will sort you out. They'll match nicely and are a nice upgrade. Probably looking at some rda xdrilled or something. But yeah just talk to Matt.

Good value for money, ull be happy.

No worries. You might wanna give him a buzz sooner rather then later, I think he's only got about 4 left in stock, he's been running a big special. At least give him a call and go from there.

Race brakes in Sydney FTW. An absolute pleasure to deal with. I'm sure they will be able to find a solution to your braking needs.

Actually I just realised that sounds like an advertisement. But they are great to deal with. I have never received better customer service from a automotive specialist.

No idea why it uploaded like that. Don't have many pics of my ute actually.

I'll grab a pick of the rear tomorrow. But if size and looks is a concern I'd look at 4 pot rears. Single rears look a bit odd. Better, but still odd. I was advised against going for 4 pots on the rear as utes suffer from pad knock off. A sedan should be fine.
