Guest Modi Guests Posted 01/06/04 10:16 AM Share Posted 01/06/04 10:16 AM April 04 build only done 1600kms no shudder at all. Bit too much travel in the brake pedal though for my liking. Breaks feel a little spongy. I will get lines bled and pedal adjusted at the 3000km service Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11072-do-later-models-have-better-brakes/page/2/#findComment-129215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brakes are ok and they stop the car quite well but the pedal is just a little to spongy for my liking. I've gotta press the pedal a little to far to get the car to stop.

Flukey Seriously Flukey Member Donating Members 4,354 Member For: 21y 1m 23d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 01/06/04 01:04 PM Share Posted 01/06/04 01:04 PM I have a December 03 build with about 12,000km on it.No sign of brake shudder. Brakes are a bit firm on the pedal to start with but you get used to it pretty quickly. Same. 10,000 clicks and nothing resembling break fade, squeal or shudder!

(hits head, TOUCH WOOD!)Apparently brakes were upgraded to stop shudder in Oct 03, this is what I have heard and been told.
