Brembo Upgrade?

[Guest]

Good move mate, you can always use them on the T or F6 once you get off your P's.

[Mr Man]

The NA can do the same top speed as the T, though it may take a lil longer to get there. No one should ever be discourged from upgrading the shiity standard brakes that Ford puts on these cars.

Brakes should always be the first upgrade before all the go fast bits.

and the bembros wont fit 17's.

I.B.

It was a joke mate, hence the laughing man emoticon... I agree the stock brakes are crap but I reckon a street driven car would only need some DBA 4000's and decent pads unless it also used at the track... that's why they give you ABS and DSC nowdays...

why the hate for the kid putting brembos on his NA XR6?

there is nothing wrong with putting brembos on a stock car... far far more intelligent than people on here with stock XR6T brakes on their modified XR6Ts.

Bucks, do it, braking and handling is something these 1800kg cars should have. so go brembos.

(just make sure your rims can fit with the brembos)

Thanks for all of the input everybody.

By the way I will fit my n/a with a set of standard F6 rims.

Take care.

yeh you should be able to put brembos on youre car are you gonna do it youre self and also what you mean youre not allowed to have any mods on your car in Victoria

While on P plates you are not allowed any performance modifications to your vehicle.

Exhaust, lowering and some nice rims would be a much better use of the money.

Cant really see officer plod throwing the book at him this one, id be be fighting it in court if I received a ticket as any judge would throw it out.

Mate im 20 (thus P-Plates) in Victoria and you can see all the mods in my sig except for a couple of things (which are soon to come) I have highly modded my N/A. Been next to millions of cops and have a cop as a mate that I have talked to about modding while on Ps. No one has any problems. Ive had the car like this for about 1 year now.

Although, brembos would be a good idea, feel free to do minor mods like catback, lowering, rims, etc. Also, if all you want is the look of the brembos just get your calipers painted, shouldnt cost you more than $50-100 to get it professionally done!

Furthermore, thers got to be other brake upgrades that are better than stock but not as expensive as Brembos!

Cheers,

Vebbers!

Buck, if you want the brakes, I say go for it.

Just one thing though.... If Buck decided to mod his car up, then surely there would be an insurance issue as well wouldn't there?

I'm not from Vic, and I'm well past my P plates.... Just something to think about. Is it really worth the hassle? These cars have plently of performance for a new driver imo.

Just my 2 cents worth.
