Will do.:thumbsup:

Not all brakes have "ADR" approval as well.

to get brake upgrades you will need min 17inch including spare, you would know this, my question is:
on the ford territory some models have a 17inch pursuit style spare, does anyone know if the captiva have a 17inch spare?

im gonna go some DBA 4000series slotted rotors and bendix ultimates up front and hopefully that will be enough for me..

Not all upgrades will limit you to 17" and above - we run the lightweight PBR-C4 twin sliding calipers on 330mm rotors and can fit 16" wheels

I recomend:

Moderate Hoon

Front: Slotted DBA's with Bendix CT's
Rears: Stock with Frodo TA's or any other middle range pads

Extreme Hoon (Like me)

Front: Cross drilled/slotted DBA's with Ultimate pades and braided brake lines
Rear: Slotted DBA's withBendix CT's


There is also some super expensive brake fluid thats better than Dot4 but its over priced, I think its made by PBR

I have seen the PBR Upgrade kit but I think its a little over the top, all you need is to stop brake fade, and just better pads like Ultimates will usually stop that, if you want to stop quicker then better rotors and braided brake lins will do the job (oh and a bigger leg mussle helps LOL)

I hope that use are all getting "ADR approved" items.
Don't forget different states different rules and regulations.

That's all.:thumbsup:
