I know of an american site that my father keeps telling me about (rockauto) Is there any american car that has same brakes as these or bigger? Like the mustang ? Rockauto sells things much cheaper for new and their postage is pretty good. My father has a Expensive Daewoo Frontera, he needed new lower control arms I'm pretty sure it was. He got the whole hub assembly with and the other crap for about $150 cheaper than what it would of just cost here for the single part. So any american cars have same brakes ?

Waste of time fitting the rears, same size rotor, and same caliper, except blue. Although, the rotors supplied were slotted, so should help. The blue caliper has gotta be worth an extra 5rwkw I reckon.Have only done a few ks, but definately better. Mechanic who fitted them said the front rotors are DBA of some description. Worth a few bucks on there own. Mine is the ute, so not sure if car rears any different.Worthwhile upgrade IMHO. :sungum: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83992-blue-fpv-pbr-brakes-upgrade-for-my-ba/page/2/#findComment-1364753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows more about these things than me. He just said they were good rotors.I am using Bendix GCT pads.

Were machined when I got them, but measured up well. I thought the rears were bigger as well, but obviously only the fronts. Or do the utes have bigger rears than the sedans??
