Extra braking can never hurt and you now know you can jump on them ANYTIME and they will always pull you up.Just be careful with whos behind you though.

FG XR6 and F6 all have the same brake system the exception being the caliper, the hose off the calipers and rotors. everything else is the same and Im sure if it interfered with the mechanics and electronics of the car the conversion would be deemed illegal and sellers and installers would not be allowed to modify the braking system by law. I did ask Matt from Race Brakes Sydney if there was a problem with the conversion and his reply was that the only problems they have had was customers getting the right wheels.
