I brought and fitted an upc brake kit http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330mm-ROT...item4850f14bc1
to fit 330mm rotors of a fellow ford forums member to my au today however my au 17s wont fit over them so ive sourced some ba 17s for tomoz no dramas just wondering if anybody else has this kit and there thoughts on it and if anyone knows what rotors are used as it appears there rear rotors to fit the front of the au's possibly territory or another ford rotor?. |

And is it worth fitting the rear 303mms i got in the kit to replace my 287mm rear brakes? or would territory rears be better to match the fronts?

I just put on a set of 322mm fronts and 328mm rears on my AUIII XR6, the pics are in my Silver build.
What sort of Rotors are you using on the front? |

to confirm ba xr8 wheels fit over these brakes fine and they work surprisingly well for what they are. Having bigger ba calipers and pads helped aswelll im sure.

Depending on the kit
Are the hubs adapters gold or black?

The hub adapters on mine were gold. Nope No issues roberts straight bolt on only issue I had was my au 17s were to small just fouled up by like 5-10mm but ba xr mags fixed that yeh there definatly rear rotors that fit on the fronts far as I've been able to deduce I believe there protex brand calipers same as FORD FPV GT-P 5.4L V8 R/H 2002 On Rear Protex Disc Brake Rotors DR507A these on eBay but with slots cut in them by UPC As UPC 507 is the number UPC give on there eBay ad could be wrong tho
