PSIFRK Member 312 Member For: 18y 4m 25d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 08/04/17 08:19 AM Share Posted 08/04/17 08:19 AM Hi all, yes I know brake topics have been done before but looking to upgrade my standard ones to something a little bigger. I am running 20" rims on it atm so clearance shouldn't be an issue. Any ideas on what to get with out the brembo price tag.

Many are happy with just upgrading the rotors and pads to DBA T3 and keeping the current callipers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93102-fgx-g6e-turbo-brake-upgrade/#findComment-1636145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the look of stock calipers even when people paint them hence why I want to upgrade them as well Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93102-fgx-g6e-turbo-brake-upgrade/#findComment-1636172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That in itself was one of the biggest differences that I noticed without having to upgrading to brembos. Yes I still have stock callipers. I did as Rab mentioned. I changed my rotors to dba 4000, with the bendix ultimate pads and upgraded the lines to braided lines. I am pretty sure that it doesn't have the same bite as the brembo's, but that in itself was a huge upgrade for me, without having to get new rims.

Haven't had a problem with mine. There's also race brakes Sydney who does them.

Off the shelf is what we got for the group buy, that I arranged a few years back. Call him up tomorrow for a pricing. Mention the forum and he might give ya a discount.
