TXR05 Member 181 Member For: 13y 10m 28d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane QLD Posted 13/02/13 12:16 PM Share Posted 13/02/13 12:16 PM (edited) It's probably been done millions of times before, but I've been looking for hours and can't find much! So I've found a set of PBR FPV blue brakes front and rear with disks. says its premium upgrade ?I want to know, if its going to be a decent upgrade to my sh*tty XR6T brakes on my BA.. Mine wobble very very bad, and are terrible at pulling me up.... They are $500.. Is that a good price with hoses, too ? THANK YOU!

Ford part?, or PBR? I am concerned that my 18s may not clear the bigger rotors.

I'm in a similar situation and would prefer not going down the brembo path if possible.

I only purchased front calipers and braided lines from race brakes Sydney. They fit under my bf 17's no worries with the 325x32 rotor.
