BA premium brakes onto a FG 2010 G6 ?

[gazza414]

Hi Matt, can the BA premium front brake package bolt straight up onto a 2010 model FG G6 ?

If not what parts do you have to make it work ?..if practical ?

other than that--how much can you do a set of front rotors and pads for the FG G6 ?

thanks

I haven't tried it but in theory it should bolt up and maybe just needing new hoses but you would have to make sure the caliper doesn't foul on the upright.
The FG G6 is a 6 cyl non turbo? Front DBA T3 slotted front discs and remsa pads are $365 or DBA T2 and the same pads for $265 or even cheaper are the RDA slotted and dimpled with Remsa pads at $198 a set.

Will also have to make sure that the brakes clear the rims. I know that the premium brakes do not clear FG XR 18 inch rims.

You could be right as the C5 set up has less offset but it must be very close.

If all the FG rims are similar it is only just over 3mm. I had spacers on my BA ute for a couple of weeks until I sourced some BF calipers. So close yet so far away.....
