January 8, 200719 yr #1 Im about to fit BF Territory rear rotors and calipers to my BA2 F6, along with the correct backing plates and was hoping to maintain the stock appearance. After hunting around and a bit of trial and error, in my opinion, the closest easy heat resistant match would have to be the VHT Drum and caliper aerosol paint in, of all things Bright Blue.. I had visions of a nice ricey flouro blue but after cleaning and priming the calipers with VHT Black, the colour worked out perhaps a little darker than stock but close enough not to be too out of place. Hopes this helps out a little... Mal
January 9, 200719 yr #2 Im wondering why your only doing the rear rotors when most of your stopping ability is generated from the front rotors/rotors. A few ppl of late considering territory rotors and calipers but I cant understand why you wouldnt all go one better and get slotted DBA or PBR. Pricing would be relatively the same.
January 9, 200719 yr #3 Because slotted DBA and PBR rotors are the same dimensions as stock XR rears... It is essentially a painted stock rear caliper. By fitting the terry rear brakes he how has more heat transferability in the rears than the PBRs. Only thing is the rotors wont be slotted, but it doesnt really matter a great deal in the rear.How's things going there Mal, been pretty quiet for a while there!

January 9, 200719 yr #6 I think the bf falcon has the terry brakes on them all standard now.the rotor nrealy fills up the whole wheel space.I may be wrong but that's what I heard.I put mine near a ba with premium brakes and my rotors and calipers were noticibly bigger
January 9, 200719 yr #7 Author Fitting the Territory rears makes sense, works with factory master cylinder and proportioning, its a bolt in fit and helps braking noticably. Try and work any Turbo's brakes hard and the fronts go out to lunch, bigger rears take the work from the fronts and help them last longer b4 disappearing. Ive now fitted DBA Slotted fronts and DS 2500 pads, better fluid and the brake performance is hugely better. Cheap (ish) improvements. Old Lightning Larry Perkins used to set his race cars with as much rear brake bias as they would take, therefore preserving the fronts as much as possible... Make sense?? Mal PS Fitting the DBA rotors makes financial sense, heaps cheaper than Gen Ford components...Not too heartbroken if the distort and crack.. he he he
