BA brembo's

[SIKSIX]

[sfr rob]

If you change the spindle, master cyl, hoses & sway bar assy you can.

Oh, I forgot to add the lower control arm.

im pretty sure this list is for adding the premium brake setup to an AU from the Tickford enhanced models..

for an AU2 you will need:
- Calipers (~$500 second hand)
- Brackets (inc with calipers)
- rotors - DBA 4x4 (~$750ea)
- pads - kingmetals (~$150)
- bolts (inc with calipers)
recommend:
- braided lines - RDA approved (~$200)

AU1 requires these extras:

strut upright $350
- lower control arm $300
- swaybar $320 (whiteline adjustable)
- swaybar brackets $220 (new from ford)
- brake lines ~$200

TOTAL
$2990

[stiddy]

[SIKSIX]

thanks guys, i was just wondering cause i could of maybe got some cheap, but now not worth pursuing them.

still want to upgrade though whats a good upgrade for a six, what are the tickford ones worth (roundabouts~$). and is the above nessasary to fit to series 1.

just go the tight ar$e way, and buy some DBA slotted rotors from SuperCheap and some decent pads and just exchange them with teh factory ones. easy :P

The Rotors would be $3,000 for all 4. Was it $750 each rotor or for all four?

So i think the price will be more.

I think for all four as i had just put 4 new DBA rotors (4000 series) & pads on the XR for just on a grand.

I saw those rotors at SuperCheap yesterday, how much are they?

I have two AU's a series 1 and a series 2.

I'll put them on up front next time I need to replace the rotors.

Maybe, but I've got the premium's on the car and the rotors for 329mm (Maybe 328mm) were around $550 each. I imagine to get Rotors the same size as the brembo rotors, you would be looking close to the $750 each.

Last year when I got my slots, they were $162each..
You can get them cheaper, some people have found them for $110each..
oh and I have a series 1

[XR6-VCT-2000]

I wouldn't mind some sloted dba rotors myself , my standard rotors feel warped - from the feel of the pedal when braking. Anyone know how muc they are going for at the moment ? - at super cheap auto .

just how i saved it from a previous thread..
