BA-FG Monoblock 4 Pot Brake Upgrade

[Shonky.]

Nice one, thanks.

Totally understandable that you don't have a dba rotor, but do you know the exact weight of your rotor?

[Shockworks]

Hi Shonkymofo,

Our disc comes in at 10Kg mate.

Cheers

Is there an estimated time for these to be on sale?

Hi Brendan,
We are expecting the brakes by the end of the month as they are being prepared for shipping now via sea. We will be airfreighting in a couple of sets but will split the difference in the cost of this if the demand requires this.

We now have the Goodridge/braided line upgrade as an option for the caliper for $180

Cheers

Just wondering in terms of replacements pads for these, whether they use a generic pad design and are able use replacement pads from other brands (e.g ferodo, bendix, ebc)
cheers

If a 19" G6ET rim will clear these, I'm keen.

Hi,
I am not sure about the Ferodo or Bendix and looking into this now. If we find something, I will post some part numbers. It is a caliper supplied by Hyundai so will be able to get a part number for there replacement. We are importing many sets of pads for the street and track. We are also working with Howard Reynolds at Race Brakes to make a replacement pad that will be available for both street and track.
Will update what we find soon.
Cheers
Brett

Same question but with the rotors? Can a generic dba rotor be able to fit? Congrats on the product and look forward to its release.

Bit disappointed about lack of information over the last 4 weeks. Nothing about the early sets that were going to be sent. Or the delay. Weren't these suppose to be available last month.

Hey Brendan,
Sorry for the info slowing down mate. I have been in Korea for the past three weeks testing and catching up while back for the last couple of days.
The ship has arrived and we will have full stocks of the brake kits next week. There will be a slight delay on the floating rotor assembly as I was not happy with the pin design and are being air freighted on the 22nd. The fixed rotor and calliper will be ready for sale next week though.
Cheers

Sorry if this was already asked, but these new rotors will fit with the factory Brembo 4/6 pot callipers?

Hey Pepscorba,
We have a different design that suits the Brembo calliper. The Brembo has a smaller disc contact area than our calliper so made a new design for the Brembo's. The Brembo has 57mm of disc contact and our new calliper has 61mm so we have both types.
Cheers

Do you have more in black? Just got some rear calipers in black and would like to continue the theme.

Hey brendan,
We have plenty in the black and think it looks very cool for the first time on Natdog's car. We will also offer a couple of options for the colour of the alloy hat like a gun blue and the gold. That will be later in the year once we finish the other Ford range we are working on.

Cheers

How much gap between the caliper and wheel do you have?

Hi Brendan,
Our brake kit is 207.5mm from the centre of the hub to the outer most part of the calliper.

How far away for the floating rotors to suit Brembo's?

Hi dl86,
We will be receiving the new floating pins next week so they will be available from the start of the following week.
Cheers

[Stazza_Brendan]

Got my brake kit today.


Quick test fit to make sure calipers clear wheel. Got about 4-5mm clearance. These wheels require a 3mm spacer to run Brembos so these calipers are quite thinner.


This is not how they sit when installed. This is just with the caliper zip tied to the suspension to check clearance.

Finally have new bobbins in stock for the floating discs!

What will they be like for noise.

Thanks Gerard

[MattSAU2XR8]

Any chance you can say whether they fit behind the honeycomb XR8 or 2008 to 2012 G6E 18 inch wheels? If not could you list rotor height (back side of disk to face abutting wheel) and how far out from the outer face the wheel sits? Then one could probably extrapolate within reason?

Anyone know the answer to this? Pretty much the only thing stopping me from buying a kit.

Hi Gerard,
Testing we have done in Korea shows no noise as we use a spring clip that supports the disc and stops the rattle that you can normally get with a floating styles disc assembly.
Cheers

Give me! Give me!

Shockworks can you tell us if these clear the g6et 19's please. I think you will have quite a few sales if they do..
