December 20, 200619 yr #1 Hi everyone,I just picked up a BA xr6t ute, love the car but the BRAKES are driving me insane, I have been told that they have a shudder problem. I was wondering if any of you guys know what the solution is...Also what are the CAPA flash tuners like, my ute is stock exept for a k&n filter, what can I expect from the tuner.thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.
December 20, 200619 yr #2 welcome........is it under warrenty still???? if it is get the breakes sorted b4 the flash
December 20, 200619 yr #3 Author no, its just out of warranty, so I have to sort it out myself... thanks for your reply.
December 20, 200619 yr #4 Start with a set of DBA discs on the front rather than the crap ford fit the cars with
December 20, 200619 yr #5 try a set of BF XR8 brakes, 330mm front and rears, you can find them new for around $1500 a set including calipers, it will get rid of your shudder problem and your car will actually stop as well
December 20, 200619 yr #6 there have a few bf`s that have had brakes shudder as well, maybe stick with the DBA`s
December 20, 200619 yr #7 try a set of BF XR8 brakes, 330mm front and rears, you can find them new for around $1500 a set including calipers, it will get rid of your shudder problem and your car will actually stop as well←Whats the differnce in V8 calipers?Also if you wanted to something simliar, minus Rotors as you wanted to use DBA rotors would it be possible.Scotty

December 20, 200619 yr #9 the XR8 brakes are 330mm front and rears dont know about the XR6T's, as a comparison the BA brakes are 297mm front and 303mm rears, I have upgraded to the BF brakes on my BA and what a difference it made
December 20, 200619 yr #10 Did you do front only or front and back, are there any issues with legalities, insurance etc?
