New member here so sorry if my first post has already been answered somewhere else on the forum already but couldn't find anything via a search. I've recently bought a one owner low km bog stock FG Mk 2 F6 auto with the standard Brembo brakes. I've got the chance to buy a set of genuine FPV new 6 piston front Brembos for a good price. Does anybody know if the standard 4 piston Brembo front calipers are the same rear calipers as on the factory 6 piston front and 4 piston rear option? If so I'm gathering it's just a simple change of mounts to fit the 4 piston front calipers to the rear and you're good to go? Thanks for any help. Greatly appreciated.

Slowxr6t Member 560 Member For: 6y 16d Location: New zealand Posted 30/01/20 05:35 AM Share Posted 30/01/20 05:35 AM My neighbor had a hsv with brembos and from memory it cost him $2500 for new rotors and pads at 100,000 kms. That's alot of cash! I put on some front slotted and dimple drilled znoelli rotors and sp500 pads for $650. They are way better than stock but I did have them fade out the other day after 2 200kmh stops, they came back fine once cooled down though. I was thinking about seeing if I could make some ducting to cool the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
