Broaders77 Member 73 Member For: 15y 9m 13d Posted 08/09/09 03:46 AM Author Share Posted 08/09/09 03:46 AM Right - picked up the car this morning.They told me on Friday they would put the premium brakes on "the same as I would get from Ultratune, just non-genuine Ford parts" and only charge me $590 instead of $980.When I got home I've had a look at the rear discs and they're smooth. I've phoned them and queried whether the premium discs should be grooved and was told no, they're just a bigger diameter and have ventilation. My front discs have grooves. Is this true or did they just lie to my face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGENT ORANGE F6 Phoon ----- MISH!! Member 348 Member For: 17y 2m 12d Gender: Male Location: BRISBANE Posted 09/09/09 12:40 PM Share Posted 09/09/09 12:40 PM (edited) Definately stay away from ford, went chasing a price for front Brembo 4pot pads - $931.31 that's just for the front two WTF!!!!!!!!!!! Brembo 355mm Front rotors - $1525 for the two Total of $2456.31WTF is fraud thinking, I could go an replace all my brembos for a full set of AP Racing brakes which would work as good if not better for the same money an have all 4 corners done not just front two.PS SHOCK stay away from heritage Expensive Daewoo at maitland, they are dodgy as had nothing but dramas with that service department Edited 09/09/09 12:41 PM by AGENT ORANGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronburgundy I love gooold member Donating Members 1,222 Member For: 15y 4m Gender: Male Location: Melbourne (west) Posted 20/09/09 09:54 PM Share Posted 20/09/09 09:54 PM None - you don't HAVE to get your car done at Fraud. Provided your car is serviced by a Ford "authorised mechanic" or something like that, you will not void your warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
