I contacted Matthew Pearce at Race Brakes in Sydney and they suggested the same AP 330 rotor and their 4 pot caliper (as per Geoff), re-drilled rotor for the Ford stud pattern. All up about $2750. As I said, my Nissan rears are good now after re-build, softer pads and the new ute/wagon PBR master cylinder.

Not sure if that AP set up on the front would operate as well without the AP rear that you also have Geoff. I will also call Warwick to compare his new set up, which sounds good.

Merv, Matthew was good to deal with despite the 13,000km separation. Bias is also influenced by weight distribution and road surface. We ran more rear bias on the rally cars because of the lack of weight transfer due to the lower tyre grip on loose surfaces. The AP's worked for me because the car uses the commodore handbrake so one less problem...plus they look the goods

Cheers

Merv,

Strongly suggest you talk to Race Brakes in Vic as opposed to Sydney. They are not the same company. I think you will find they are much more knowledgable....
