And the uprights would be different to e series, in.other words not interchangable :(

Ford are so s**t why would you put smaller brakes on the sedan, the pricks hardly pull up lol

unfortunatly if you want a falcon with good brakes, buy an au or later...

i dont think ford had any real braking performance in mind when they designed the e series.. yet again neither did holden the late 80's and early 90's std commo brakes are just as bad...

haha about the vn!

now after getting the up right off the ea and putting the caliper on the rotor in the correct position, things became noticable, like the spacing diffrence from the upright to the xg caliper, and the fact i'll have to machine the caliper itself so that they can bolt on :\

with machining, i could get either done, but should i machine the upright or should i machine the calipers?

oppions and reasons would be most apprciated

chopped up the upright and it's a no go, bolts are too low in it and the caliper touches on the rotor, and the pads from the ea touch on upright as well

Well at least you had a good practice run with the first one so you will do well.
