Vehicle is a 03 BA xr6T auto its got the PBR upgrade I believe.Options I have been wondering about is,Getting some standard rotors and getting them slotted? put some good pads on blah blah..Also have wondered about putting BF rotors and calipers on, Is this very hard to do and will it make a huge difference?Any other options will be considered but I don't particularly want to spent thousands.Thanks Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54551-options-for-brake-upgrades/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the rears stay stock??? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54551-options-for-brake-upgrades/#findComment-822802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the rears stay stock???Not really. I did the fronts first and the backs some months later. If the fronts are done with a better braking setup then you will feel it in the rear but only under spirited driving, the everyday stuff wont make a difference.I.B.

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.
