FormulaFG Donating Members 68 Member For: 9y 9m 11d Posted 20/11/15 01:22 AM Share Posted 20/11/15 01:22 AM So on an FG sedan to upgrade to the 328mm Territory rear what do I need to get and off what model of Territory?PBR big single caliperCaliper bracketNew rotors (these are vented rather than FG solids yeah?)New hoses (I currently have braided lines on my stock callipers - can I resuse?)Will all the stuff swap straight over, rotors being the main concern.Also does anyone know if the above setup will still fit under a FG space saver spare tyre?Thanks.

And yes its vented rather than solid. The disc / caliper etc all bolt up as standard. The vrake line may need changing, I gently bent mine out of the way. No idea about the spare on a sedan, but I doubt it would be an ussue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 2nd hand terrys then got them rebuilt and was only like $30 cheaper than going brand new. But at least mine are black instead of red lol also prepared for expensive rotors...rears end up being more expensive than fronts....oh and adds a little more weight too. If I had my time again, I'd probs only do it if going brembos up front eventually...can't say I've noticed a massive difference on my car from caliper swap only. I mainly did it for looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to fit a space saver on to tell me if they clear? Edited 20/11/15 10:25 AM by FormulaFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to be widened....I didnt do it myself cause im sh*t...I assume the brake place used a grinder and chopped 15mm or so on each end; so that the larger caliper clears.And yeh that's the seller....good to see black is now available lol mine were like $75 for 2nd hand calipers then $130 or something for rebuild....but that above would be better; cause newAnd cant help with space saver question....cause dont have one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormulaFG Donating Members 68 Member For: 9y 9m 11d Posted 21/11/15 07:21 AM Author Share Posted 21/11/15 07:21 AM Cheers for the response.Had an interesting thought regarding the backing plate. Being a perfectionist and an all round picky bugger I don't really want a hack job done on it, even if I can't see it. Could I get the backing plate from a wrecker for an F6 or FGX XR8? They both came with the larger caliper so should already be widened to suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear up right needs to come off, hub needs to be pressed out of the bearing and handbrake assembly needs to come off before you can remove the backing plate.
