I must be wrong in my thinking :) Must have been because I've seen so many FG XR6T's with brembo brakes that I figured they'd have to be an option - they must have all bought them aftermarket (probably a cheaper/better option anyway).

EDIT: referring to:

(FG) http://australiancar.reviews/_pdfs/FPV_Range_FGI_Brochure_201010.pdf - no mention of "Brembo" or "4-piston" or "6-piston".

(FG2) http://australiancar.reviews/_pdfs/Ford_Falcon_FGII_Brochure_201308.pdf - again, no mention of "Brembo" or "4-piston" or "6-piston".

(FGX) http://australiancar.reviews/_pdfs/Ford_Falcon_FGX_Brochure_201411.pdf - mentions Brembo's standard on XR8 (of course) and non-brembo's for below XR8. No mention of brake upgrade options...

It surprises me that there were no options for an upgrade in FG's when there was in B-Series. :)

To the best of my knowledge you couldn't option brembos on a non fpv b series?

I said "upgrade" not "Brembo", for B-Series.

Just remember guys, backpedalling is only cool on BMX's to do skids

peter, that will fit easy, I had 19x10 +10 on the front of mine - look at the room

Was that with rolled guards or standard? Calculator say 4 mm more inside and 16mm more poke. lol And looks like your running crazy camber? My aim was like -0.5 camber with 265s on front. Would that promote more understeer though?

Oil and filter change and cleaned out the pod filter and turbo oil line filter.

Enjoyable. Something about fresh oil gets the ocd pumping

And I also found that the two hose clamps on the intake muffler were loose!! Do these things loosen over time with the heat/floggings or did whoever touched it last leave em loose?

Last person to touch it was touching themselves instead of tightening

rolled guards, it would have been tyre spaghetti without rolling.

1.5 degrees negative camber for daily duties.

2.5 degrees negative camber for track work
