FGXXR6TUTE Donating Members 24 Member For: 4y 3m 13d Gender: Male Posted 04/08/20 04:31 AM Author Share Posted 04/08/20 04:31 AM Well I have my answer. They don't fit. I had a mate with an FPV and we tried to put my wheels on his car and they fouled. So I have just ordered some DBA T3 4000 https://www.sparesbox.com.au/part/dba-t3-4000-performance-slotted-brake-rotor-pair-front-dba42107s Slotted Rotors and Bendix Ultimate Pads. I think I'll have a crack at installing them myself. I downloaded the workshop manual and it seems straight forward enough, but does anyone have a guide with pictures for a simpleton?

I guess all "lux pack" wheels don't fit over brembo's then. just don't damage the brake line in the process of putting the rotors on while the caliper is dangling and don't damage the caliper/pistons when you're pushing the pistons back (use the old pad to do it) and don't let the fluid get below the "suck" point of the reservoir when bleeding the brakes (e.g. keep it topped up) and don't leave any brake fluid on painted surfaces for more than a few seconds edit: oh and clean the rotor mounting surface of rust to ensure the hubs/rotors don't have any runout (also a good idea to measure this).

But if you do enough research on what to do (videos, how-to's etc) you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gave me way too much time to think about the money I was going to spend on the Ute. So I sold it last week and am buying an XR6 Sprint 🤑 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
