Falky100 Donating Members 305 Member For: 13y 5m 29d Gender: Male Posted 27/12/12 10:35 AM Share Posted 27/12/12 10:35 AM Hi guys, Just recently I have been looking into changing my rotors out for DBA 5000 street series and was out measuring my rotors and found they are:- Front - 320mm diameter Rear - 310mm diameterThe calipers have PBR written on them, and from a little research I believe stock rotors are meant to be 298mm? Might be a stupid question but are these upgraded brakes, or do these cars come standard with PBR calipers + this size rotor.Also the calipers are silver not black or red.Cheers John.Might be a good idea to take a couple of pics to clarify what I'm talking about.

Surely these arnt upgraded but may aswell double check before I go and buy new rotors.

I will try and measure again tomorrow because I want to go and see about new front rotors from supercheap, since they got a sale on $120 for dba slotted rotors (I think they are 5000series). Also the car is a BF if it helps, maybe they went to bigger size from ba to bf?

It was quite a help. Again, I will double check the sizes tomorrow. From all the pics I am seeing of pbr upgraded brakes, they look nothing like mine. My rotors are not slotted, my calipers arnt red, and my front rotor thickness measures about 28mm (unless I am worn down to an illegal limit :/) Edited 27/12/12 11:50 AM by Falky100 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83353-pbr-upgrade-or-not/#findComment-1341547 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have std BF turbo brakes which are 322mm x 28mm and are not interchangable with the upgrade calipers. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83353-pbr-upgrade-or-not/#findComment-1341629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
