The rear brakes on the phoon are actually smaller than the bf turbo brakes as early bfs had the territory rear brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they started with the option of brembo 4 pot on rear but they suffered from brake bias... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford_xr6_turbo_silver Inactive Members 1 Member For: 14y 1m 23d Posted 18/03/10 06:27 AM Share Posted 18/03/10 06:27 AM I have a standard xr6 turbo silver, which I upgraded with the typhoon rims I got for a good deal the dark agent ones. This looks awesome on silver, and the xr6 turbo is alot cheaper than the typhoon. Typhoon's are good but people want heaps second hand and they are very expensive cause some young people that bought them put up the price cause they cant pay them off. For the money an xr6 turbo is quite fast and potentially if upgraded faster, eg like the skylines gt t vs gtr people upgrade them, for less.

XrSexc Member 47 Member For: 14y 1m 24d Posted 22/03/10 11:56 PM Share Posted 22/03/10 11:56 PM Mate, go the BFII XR6T. The 6sp Auto would be the winner for me. Throw in a couple $$$ at it and it will be much faster than the Phoon. Plus, being an MkII it might still have factory warranty?If you go the phoon, you just have to remember about the running costs. Bigger wheels mean extra $$$ for new tyres, those brakes don't come cheap either to replace or repair. And unless you are taking it to regular track days, you don't need those bigger brakes just for everyday driving and giving it a squirt here and there.Go the newer 6sp Auto XR6t!
