Posted 26/03/08 03:53 AM Share Posted 26/03/08 03:53 AM Was looking at upgrading my disc to slotted rotors and then found this on ebay. Now I always thought if you increased the size of the rotor, you had to change your calipers. This seller is saying different. He is selling the kit for $350.Is it true and is that a good price? Has anyone got them?FORD FALCON FRONT BRAKE DISC UPGRADETO SUITBA FALCONUPGRADE YOUR STANDARD 298MM FRONT BRAKES TO A MASSIVE 330MM DISC ROTORTHIS IS A DISC UPGRADE KIT - USING YOUR EXISTING CALIPERS.THIS KIT INCLUDES2 X FRONT 330MM X 28MM VENTED, SLOTTED PERFORMANCE ROTORS2 X ADAPTER BRACKETS, SUPPLIED WITH BOLTS2 X ADR APPROVED AND STREET LEGAL S/S BRAIDED BRAKE HOSES Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43917-ebay-brake-upgrade-is-it-possible/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 29d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/03/08 04:26 AM Share Posted 26/03/08 04:26 AM It will not make much if any difference to your braking performance.It is a cosmetic change and should be avoided. If you want to upgrade the braking performance, then do it properly with DBA4000 rotors and soem decent pads as a basic upgrade.Going to Alcon/Brembo's and larger rotors will improve the performance further.The best way to improve the stopping distance is better tyres.

Guest newl Guests Posted 26/03/08 05:42 AM Share Posted 26/03/08 05:42 AM 330? Will that fit under an 18" factory rim (assumption) still? My F6 has 325mm rotors (same size as the DBA 4000s) afair and the calipers barely clear as it is now.

The rotors / brackets wont be ADR compliant that's all. The more metal the better the ability to absorb and dissipate heat, therefore a bigger rotor should technically always be better.

They will fit under the 18s fine. The braided lines are a bonus. That is a good cheap kit. Just fit some good quality pads, like police spec etc. and your car will stop great.

The larger rotor in this upgrade will give extra thermal capacity, however unless getting serious pads there is no real benefit.
