I've fitted DBA 4000 front rotors and QFM HPX pads. No worries, 322mm x 28mm rotors. Great stopping, NO squeal and NO dust. Now for the rear.....
Picked up a pair of 328mm x 26mm DBA 4000's and QFM HPX pads (by the catalogue) to finsih the job, but, surprise - they won't fit! Rears as fitted (had the car from new) are 303 x 16mm solids, the same as the BA's and the non-turbo BF XR6. I understand the 303 x 16mm rear were supplied with 298 x 28mm or Premium 325 x 32mm fronts, but not the 328 x 26mm "upgrade" on the BF with the much smaller 303 x 16mm rear. Have you heard of Ford fitting non matching front/rear brakes on BF MkII XR6-T's? Can you offer an opinion on fitting the larger callipers to go with the 328 x 26mm rotors and pads, or try and swap them back for the originals (surprisingly smaller)? |

for some reason (probably cost cutting) they went back to the smaller disc and caliper with then mk2. I too found this odd when i purchased my BF mk2.

Seems so from other sources. There is apparently a revised DBA catalogue currently at press which hi-lights this change.
I've decided to change the callipers as I already have the larger rotors and pads. At least it will be ADR compliant. Yet another disapointing Ford let down. |

Also the FG's have the smaller solid 303mm set up as well.
The rear PBR calipers to suit the 328mm discs are $150each caliper plus $80 for the HPX pads.
