My better half's son has the BF F6 with the standard Brembo's up front and normal stock brakes on the rear.

The front pads are nearly down to the wear limit and the disc measurement is 30mm and that's the wear limit i believe.

Went to Perth Brake Parts to cost some new front Ferodo DS2500 street pads not race pads plus 2 new rotor's. He got the part numbers from the DBA part book.

Also got prices for the rear pads as well from the DBA part book and the cost is around $1700 or $1800 can't remember and i'm on site so i can't check.

My question is this........Are the direct replacements rotor's and pads from the DBA part's book ok to fit onto the BF F6? Not going to let ford replace them and over charge him like they do when it is service time for the car.

Is this a good price? Or should i just get new Brembo pads and rotor's for the car or can you supply me the parts cheaper than Ford will?

PM me if you like with the cost to replace front and rear pads plus 2 new front rotor's

The DBA parts are fine to fit as well sell them all the time.I think you will be happier with our prices and i have listed a few options with this 4 piston front and single piston rear set up.
Genuine xdrilled rotors are $1050 a pair.I can sometimes get these much cheaper but nil stock at the moment.
DBA 4000 series slotted are $600 a pair front
DBA 4000 series xdrilled are $700 a pair front
DBA 5000 series slotted 2 piece disc $995 a pair front
Front brake pads from $218
Rear brake pads from $85
Freight would depend on postcode thankyou
DS2500 pads are performance / street compound and are $440 for the front with the Ferodo Formula rear pads at $150 a set.

Floored i've spoken to Simon Birch about the best way to go and i'll go with the DBA 5000 series rotors plus front DS2500 pads and Ferodo Formula rear pads.

I'm over in Perth WA and my post code is 6110 so if you can tell me the complete price to get everything to me i'll let the young one know and i'll ring you to see how you want me to transfer the money.

The young fella is over in Rome at the moment playing basketball. The reason i'm doing this for him is he is in a wheelchair and he has hand controls fitted to the F6 so i wanted to make sure i got the right brake combo for him and that it will pull the car up quick smart as Simon has done his magic to the car so it's got a bit more power.

He was just in Sydney playing for Australia in the Asia Pacific championships which Australia won and in his off time he plays for Rome. They also just won the gold medal at the Para Olympics last year so he's doing ok and we look after his car while he is away and do all the repairs etc and that's when i noticed his front brakes were history and Simon tells me your the man to go too for brakes.

Cheers
Neil

Neil it sounds like the young bloke is very competitive.Good choice of set up for this car and the rear pads are out of stock until the next week or so but you can either wait for them and i will send all at once or i can send the front parts once the deposit has cleared and the rear pads will be sent when they arrive (At no extra cost to you).
Bank deposit or internet transfer is best.

Once he transfers the coin over to us from Rome i'll get in touch with you once we have made payment and then just send it all in one hit.

The car isn't being used it's just sitting in the back yard so waiting another week for the rear pads to be in stock isn't an issue.
