We will also try to get G6ET wheel but may be a week or so as I am back oversea's testing in a few days and teaching some driver training again for 10 days.
We should have a track day for the Ford Forums I think.
If I can't get a car and the wheel this week, I will arrange this on my return!

I can try get my hands on a g6et wheel to trial fit. I'll try get an accurate measurement today on how much further out the shockworks caliper sits compared to the standard caliper.
From quick look the shockworks caliper is about 5 or 6mm thinner then a factory brembo setup.

[Stazza_Brendan]

Got my brakes on today. Shockworks front and F6/GT rears with DBA rotors.
Huge difference in braking power.

This is the best i can do with the measuring. Ive put the word out on local facebook page to borrow a G6 wheel.
The shockworks caliper sticks out the same distance as the stock wheel studs.


My rough measuring put the shockworks caliper as sitting 40mm further out then the stock BF(FG?) caliper.



This is stock caliper on BF showing it sits back from the rotor on hub a few mm.


Before shot. Stock BF Turbo brakes with DBA rotors.


After, Shockworks 355mm , 4pot setup.


I took a heap more pics of the install in my build thread.

Excellent stuff. Are there any other colour options for the calipers and disc yet?

Hey Matt,

At this stage we have moved away from the gold hats and have the dark grey as in the pictures. We have the option of a red caliper apart from the black. We are now looking at a gun blue colour and a couple of others but that will be a while off yet. What I plan to do is have a range of different colour alloy hats that I can assemble according to what colour the customer wants. This is a bit tricky though, as the disc and alloy hat are balanced together as a unit for best results so need to find a solution to this first. They are balanced to just a couple of grams so don't want to change this too much.
So many other things to get cracking on like finish the testing of the rear disc in which we have a full day of tests tomorrow.

Cheers
Brett

Here's a shot of the Shockworks full floating 2 piece brake rotors I installed this Thursday.



Makes your head fly through the window with the Project Mu HC+ competition pads I got. Perfect fit and finish with the rotors.

Hey natedog,
Sounds like a great idea. I am currently overseas training a whole bunch of chassis engineers advanced driver training and on limit testing on a 20 acre skid pan which is so much fun.
Nothing like fish tails at 160kph with nothing in sight to hit haha.
A Winton day would be great and would be happy to help the guy's with some techniques and smoothness for the track. If we can arrange something, I would happy to do this for free for the forum members. I may also get a lap or two in a Ford so well worth it haha.
Cheers
Brett

Winton has test and tunes on Fridays don't they?

Sounds good to me!!

Any word on part numbers for rotor replacement and brake pads im very interested in this kit.

Hi xr8 007,
The rotor replacement we have if to suit the Brembo calliper for the GT 355mm disc and our brake upgrade with our own 355mm two piece disc and 4 pot calliper.
At this stage we don't offer replacement discs for the premium FPV brake upgrade option so, sorry mate.

Cheers
Brett

Had these for almost a month now. Insane braking even with my current small front tyres (will fix that later). And even better I'm not getting any annoying brake dust.

[raband]

Any update on the rear set yet?

[twr7cx]

Why aren't these listed for the AU too?

[Shockworks]

Most likely because we had not had the chance to do a fitting haha. We still not not have tested the brakes on AU yet but understand that the front upgrade should fit the AU series 2. After we get through some current development work (2012 GT shelby Mustang and some other cars) we will get started on the AU damper work when we find a suitable car.
Cheers
Brett

[Stazza_Brendan]

which wheel in particular you want to see if they will fit.
The above 2 wheels would be easier for me to find compared to a 19in g6et wheel.

This one:


FG G6E version is 18, which I own a set of.
FG G6ET version is the same wheel but in 19. If the 18 inch version fits then the 19 should you would think.

Also these:


Found on FG XR6T MkII. They are 18 inch.

From my understanding any factory fitted Ford 18" alloy should tell me whether they are compatible or not.

Brendan, My Brother In law has a G6E Ecoboost and it has the G6E 18s on it I'm sure we could try one out over your brakes sometime.

[gtxxr6]

i don't understand how these rotors put up with the abuse they cop. have done a lot of 200k stops now and they still look like brand new

Haha Thanks for the feedback gtxxr6.
I should have given more background about these discs. They have been developed over time with many race cars in Korea, using the best quality materials with a very high carbon content. They support the Korean V8 Super cars and so many other classes currently racing.
This is why we where so surprised after trying to smash them in 40 degree heat over summer.
Thanks again
Brett

Rear kit online yet?

We have the rear discs now but still need more testing before we are happy to put on the market. The alloy hub also need a slight revision to the drawing but apart from that seems to be all good.
I would expect it to still be about two months before we have the full production version ready for sale.
Cheers

Seriously considering a set of these rotors for front and rear. Would love to get some weight off - so the alloy hats are a go.
Are there any ADR type accreditation on these ?
Just checking.

[Doogs]

Any news on a rear caliper?

Cheers,
Matt

Hey Doogs,
We have the discs in test but the rear calliper is difficult. We are going to try and source the rear Terri calliper or just have the rear alloy hat disc as an upgrade for the GT.
Cheers

[dl86]

Will the rotors be for the brembo 4 pot caliper or single piston PBR rears?

I couldn't believe the rotors after the track day I did, they looked brand new even with the aggressive pads I was running. I've upped the ante to full race spec pads now after I killed the set I had lmao

We want to be able to supply for both the Brembo 4 pot and the PBR callipers but just takes a little time. We now have on board the ex brake engineer from Prodrive to help get these things happening quicker now. We also will have a FG test car soon to test new brake and other chassis related parts.
Cheers
Brett

[graphicgoose]

"Other chassis related parts" hey Brett...I like the sound of that!

[FPV8U]

Will the other Chassis parts also be developed/fit B-Series?

[AGS302]

Do you sell the kits minus the rotors?
