djqc Member 291 Member For: 14y 11m 18d Posted 13/08/12 12:17 AM Posted 13/08/12 12:17 AM I spoke to race brakes in Sydney many months ago and he said he was looking into a performance upgrade that would fit under the g6et 19. Has anything come from this? I remember you saying the the harrop would fit underneath the front, but not the rear Dave?

Seems they aren't taking any chances with particular wheels fitting or not, up to the purchaser to sort wheels out.BTW Harrop now has a monoblock kit for the FG(replacing the Monster kit that I have) has same size rotors as the Brembos at 355mm front and rear down from 370mm/356mm the Monster kit was.
djqc Member 291 Member For: 14y 11m 18d Posted 13/08/12 03:09 AM Posted 13/08/12 03:09 AM From your experience, is that likely to fit up to the factory rim?

Harrops tested a protype of their monoblocks on the G6ET 19" factory rims....no go.

Genuine from ford.Never wanted to change them! Bloody brake upgrade!! Brembo and harrop make your gear leaner!Don't you need a FPV Vin to purchase them? Any original wheel from Ford cost a bomb so I'm not surprised.

Sheesh, they make a killing. I would have loved to get an F6E but my budget didn't stretch that far and there were only two on car sales at the time, both 2 years old and wanting $60K so I passed. I love the F6E and G6ET wheels so if the car I was looking at didn't have them, it would be a serious turn off especially if I'd then have to pay $5.5K to get a set and add tyres to them. If the Falcon does end up finishing in 2016, I'll definitely try to get an F6E if I'm in a position to get one. I love my G6ET and my budget this time was cash only. If it was the last production run ever, I'd take the $20K loan, lol. 1
