Yeah...
March 2011, so FG. not FG2.
Rear calipers are 45mm piston, existing is on 303mm rotors, going up to 328mm territory rotors, so same caliper but 1/2" further out.
Upgrading the front to 6 piston Brembo, so mostly for looks than necessity and because I can.
Martin,
Safebrake braided lines? This is a family friendly forum so I will withhold my true thoughts on them as a company other than their idea of customer service* isn't, and why I'm looking for which brake line I might need and what is compatible.
*I have a set of their brake lines for an FPV ute, front are fine but the rear are not compatible because mine isn't FPV. I only just learned this myself, so that's on me for not making 100% sure. Reached out to them for an assist, they said they sent what was ordered, they were fully aware of the difference (and don't sell a set for what I need) and %$#&%$ you.
I didn't demand that they make it right, just some help to get what I needed and I did not ask for a handout, just some assistance to make it right even at my cost.
(I actually asked about a compatibility concern more than anything, wondering whether this was a known thing or something weird with my car only. Mine has some weird stuff as they were moving to FG2...)
Ideally, they'd take back the rears, send out the proper ones, hit me for some $$$ to cover the difference and postage and that'd be great. I'd be happy to buy the proper rears, eat the $$$ of the wrong ones and I'd be not 100% happy, but it'd be acceptable enough. Buying another full set of lines to use 2 from each set, and eat the cost of a full set? Eff that.
So no, I'll not take up your suggestion Martin. And I'll make sure I let anyone who asks know that buy them at your own risk because if there's a problem you're ^&%$#%...
