30/03/11 11:38 AM30/03/11 11:38 AM #1 Just ordered my ute. White with 0 options. Am going after-market for everything except KWs (I like warranty). Suspension is sorted through Quadrant (Bilstein kit), now its brakes. I like the 6 spot brembo option available so will get that with some DBA rotors but what about the rear? Who makes a matching 4 or even 2 spot rear kit for the utes? I see they are an option on the FoolishlyPricedVehicles but cant find a kit after-market.Car will be taken to Phillip Island & Sandown for a few track days so I plan to change pads & the day before.Any body (sponsors) have any ideas?

Ford FG 18 and 19" dont clear Brembos. I use my FG at the circuit and found the 4 pots to be adequate for me anyway with circuit pads.Had to upgrade my rears as some fgxr6t only cames with a solid rear disc (303mm I think), not twin ventilated. Check to see what you have. I was lucky to get some bigger calipers rear ventilated 328mm rotors (on Territory and FPV's. Maybe search for details on rear territory upgrade.
