Default Just got my BF XR Rear Calipers

Dudes

After looking around all over the place for BF/Terry 328mm Rear Calipers I stumbled across

http://www.bcrbrakes.com.au/babfbrakes.htm

$240 for a pair loaded with pads... Wreckers wanted upwards of $500 and Ford want $250 each (Trade)

Just got them today, 3 days after I ordered. Great price. Very impressed with with Adam from BCR Brakes so thanks man.

Anyone after good prices no balls ups I recommend checking these dudes out. I don't usually plug but this was no fuss and kept my sanity.

So now I can't wait to fit them, got my shiny new calipers and 328mm slotted rotors waiting to bolt on.

They won't fit AU1 with stock Rotors. These are 328mm Rotors, yours will be 287mm I believe.

The Mounting brackets came with the Calipers. I believe AU IRS requires 3mm spacers though.. Easy as...

That does seem like a good deal, thanks heaps for sharing mate, good of you to do that!
Here is another stupid question, do these fit on the front of an AUII Falcon? I know they are from the rear of a Territory, but they are obviously bigger than the stock fronts that I have right? I wouldn't mind upgrading my brakes, and for that price, how can you go wrong!

OK, I just realised how stupid I am. This is just for calipers, not disks! : How much are the disks for these worth? I am just wondering how much it will cost me to completely upgrade the front brakes?

For the front brakes you can get the 322mm BF/Terry package (With slotted rotors) from FTG for $650 including Rotors and Pads.

Alternatively, I think the Front Calipers are $340 a pair from that site I mentioned with Pads.. And I think they sell normal rotors for about $70... Or you can hunt around and get a price on Slotted rotors... Probably work out cheaper then FTG package.

Will bolt straight onto AU2

Do you have live axle or irs?

You must have struck them on a good day. Just another retailer as I see it.
