Guest XR09 Guests Posted 06/09/10 10:32 AM Share Posted 06/09/10 10:32 AM (edited) No they don't. And yep that sucks lol. I had mine done on all four corners for $180. That's a custom job by the guy who does all my bike lines. I think supercheap can order them in for you for a lot less. change the brake fluid while your at it.ps really didn't notice any difference from them. The braided lines that is.pps there is 2nd hand sets on here occasionally, and you can use the savings to get decent rotors and pads. Edited 06/09/10 11:11 AM by XR09 quote removed...

Sorry, it is very hard to see sarcasim on chat boards..............I think it is a joke that you dont get it, and think that ford need to be booted up the bum. You pay $5000 extra for bigger calipers, but you dont get anything back for the brakes that would have been on the car anyway, so it means these brakes are really about $8000. For $8000 you would get 6 spot front 4 spot rear, braided lines and about $2000 change if you went through the after market suppliers (some of which supply FPV in the first place!)for the same system!
