See pic.I will fit braided hoses when fitting them, is there anything else a I need? They were taken off a ute, so I understand I need to swap rear anchor brackets L to R to fit my sedan.Apart from a big can of brake clean.

Missus is picking up as we speak.

These are not premium brakes. They are factory rotors and calipers that have been painted black. Now some people might not know the difference, but as an EX-Ford Engineer, I know my premiums from my standard calipers. Makes sense now about the convenient photo that doesnt show the outer caliper face that should have a Ford logo in white.I wont flame the company now, I will wait and see how they handle this first.

REfunding the money and paying for a courier to pick them up and take them back. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81300-premium-brake-retro-fit/#findComment-1275760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
