Hi Matt,
I drive a BF MKII Ute with 16" steelies, it's an XL and to my dismay has NO ABS!!! (in this day and age... I didn't even think to check!) Anyway, I can see that if I upgrade to the 328mm disc I'll need new rims and I'm on a budget. I'm in my 50's and I drive like a grandpa now, but I was disappointed when I fitted speed sleeders to the ute and did three crash stops and found the brakes starting to fade already. The stock brakes are pathetic... My question is, is it worth it (will I notice the difference) fitting stock sized slotted rotors and better pads, or am I better off sourcing a set of 17" or 18" rims and fitting the 328mm slotted rotors? AND Did the G6 have the bigger rotors, as I'm looking at a set of rims off a wrecked vehicle? thanks for your time. |

The front upgrade is 322mm and takes the same pad as the 298mm kit but with the larger rotor and a good set of pad is a better option. All Turbo and V8 Fords in BF and FG have the 322mm set up. You could also try the DBA T2 rotors and the dba XP all round as we have found that a good improvement on the RTV cars. Quote:
