BISHY1 New Member 11 Member For: 12y 5m 5d Posted 13/06/14 08:54 PM Share Posted 13/06/14 08:54 PM Is there a good and bad upgrade caliper for ba bf turbos? Was there two versions of the pbr upgrade? I'm sure I read there were two, one has a little cut out bit to tell.. Or is this not true?

(PBR also supplies a very high end six-pot, six-pad caliper for the uber Corvette models) These calipers are easy to spot. They have a smooth forged surface (as opposed to a sand casting surface) and they are:- Painted Black when supplied as part of the XR6 Factory Premium Brake Upgrade. The decal says Ford. - Painted Blue when supplied on a BA FVP standard brake. The decal says FPV... I think- Painted Red (or Yellow? and...) when supplied direct by PBR as part of an aftermarket upgrade kit. The decal says PBR.The rear caliper stays the same as in the standard brake set. Except in the PBR aftermarket kits where the rear (standard calipers) are also colour coded red (and yellow and..) 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88507-ba-pbr-calipers-good-and-bad-ones/#findComment-1478335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
