Calipers need more yellow......

oh wait, nevermind

Just when I thought - this immaculate F6 couldn't get any better / sexier ! - Bang ! Harrod Yellow 6/4 Ultimates !! When will the excitement end ? This is a true pin up car for Ford XR6 !!! Bravo !

Looks the goods mate. I'll be looking out for it around Tgon.

OK guys, brakes were fitted up last night. Heres a few pics, sorry for the ordinary shots, these were taken on my phone. I dont have any of the car as it sits, it was too dark by the time we were finished. Will taken some better pics over the weekend.

What you get in the kit.

Briaded lines. These are not included and need to be purchased seperatley.

Front comparison - Harrop (381mm) VS Brembo (355mm)

Rear comparison - Harrop (356mm) VS Brembo (328mm)

Brembo 4 pot fronts

Harrop 6 pot front

PBR rears

Harrop rears

Front with wheel on.

This gives you an idea on how much clearance left on a 20" wheel. I'm guessing a number of 19" wheel would not fit.

Surprisingly there is MUCH more clearance on the front compared to the Brembos. Previous I needed to run a 3mm spacer just to clear the Brembo caliper. The Harrops fit with 10-15mm to spare. Would allow for more aggressive wheel fitments

The rear fitment is a different story, these are very large compared to the PBR's and I struggled to get my 20x10 to fit over them. In the end I had to space them.

So initiale thoughts..... they look porn. There is definitely a marked improvement in the stopping distance with this setup, it bites alot harder. The supplied pads (I think they are Bendix SRT but not sure) seem to want a bit of heat before they really start to perform, so perhaps not the best pad selection for the street. Keep in mind I have only travelled 50km with these so will still need to bed in correctly.

Admitedley I am a bit dissappointed with the initiale pedal feel... its just too soft. I was expecting it to be same or better than factory setup, perhaps my expectations were misguided. For the street I can get used to it, but if you were buying these for track work I wouldnt be happy. The brake fluid was flushed and bleed so confident there is no air in the lines, perhaps a larger master cylinder would remedy this but didnt expect this would be needed. Time will tell, this may improve.

I'll get a few more km on them, take some more pics and update everyone.

Mate that's an impressive bit of kit!!

Give them a bit of time to bed in.. theyll get better.

Excellent thread mate with really good info. Try a fluid swap if still spongy after bed in. They look fantastic.

Had same issue with my Harrops monster kit, front even fit under the stock G6E 19" wheels, the rear wasn't even close. The rear only had a few mm clearance even with the FPV wheels I had to end up using.

My kit uses Bendix Ultimate pads, nice bite even when cold. Hell dusty though.

Sounds like it need a larger bore master cylinder to me.

Your 20s struggle because they have a very small inner barrell. I would not be suprised if there were a few 18s that they would fit under.

And the final result...
