Rotors were $130 each delivered from Sydney (discpads.com).Dingah

If I change the rotors and pads, do I need new calipers also? Reading the above post got me a little confused and if I can get away with some good rotors and quality pads this would be cheaper of course. If I am looking at calipers also, what's the go? PBR?
MercuryT Member 53 Member For: 21y 1m 10d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 02/01/06 06:58 AM Posted 02/01/06 06:58 AM I am in the same boat as XXXR6T as I have the standard brakes. I have had none of the talked about Brake Shudder and my car has done over 70K's. I have looked at the DBA range and was trying to understand what suited the standard calipers. I really don't want to go to the expense of changing calipers as I am happy with the performance of the standard brakes. I am just trying to improve the looks!

Posted 02/01/06 08:11 AM Posted 02/01/06 08:11 AM If you have standard brakes on your turbo a good upgraded is to use dba cross drilled and slotted disc's that's the 4000 series.Also replace the ford pads with qfm ones or simalar.Ian
