Ford Au Series 1 T Series Premium Brakes Tickford

[au^dude]

Hey i have got some Tickford Brakes with the Stub axles for the AU1. I got these for my car but have decided to sell my car later on in the year so the stock brakes will do.

They seem like a good upgrade for anyone with a S1. Don't know much about them, so how do they compare to the S2/3 brakes?

That's a good question, and I'll bet JC would have an answer to that one, or at least a good opinion on it!

In any case, they'd be heaps better than the stock crapola S1 items! My S2 brake upgrade is sooooo much better than the old gear. I wonder how this would have gone though? It would have actually worked out cheaper by a little bit! Actually, the same once the rotors are factored in. The Tickford emblems would be nice though! There's just something great about that emblem. LOL!

They're a big improvement over the regular series 2 & 3 brakes, they are stiffer & use a larger rotor (329mm by 28mm) & pad. They were available as on option on series 2 & 3 XRs & were used on the T2 & T3s but they mounted up differently.

[jones_aus]

how much would a set of rotors cost?

[FGII-XR6]

not compatable with S2/3. different stub axles , lower control arms and stabiliser

[mattp]

So besides the rotors is there anything else needed to bolt these up to an S1? Sway bars or control arms etc...

[au^dude]

Well as far as i know what you would need is the caliper mounts(if there is anything like that). Also brake lines. Thats what i know that we need. Maybe others on here can let us know what else we need. What you see in the Picture is what get.
The calipers have a little bit of surface rust but which is normal but can not be seen when calipers are on the car.

My T1 still gets the Tickford pads and rotors. I've just replaced the fronts for about $1,400, can't remember individual prices but rotors aren't too cheap.

[au^dude]

You should be able to get some PBR rotors for cheaper.

Hey people few days left now...Get in early.

[EvilChief]

thos uprights may even fit some e series falcons, they got the same/similar setup. i remember the el gts had similar twin piston setups. anyone know?

[au^dude]

I was told that they wont because they are slightly different.

[EvilChief]

interesting ... i wonder what the diff are ... may be able to make em fit ... if its only ball joints would be easy enough. what about upper and lower control arms ...


/me brain is ticking over

Less then a day too go now. Come on people this will make a good upgrade for a S1 AU.

whole front suspension is different....au's dont have a K frame like eseries...

au front end is retrofittable BUT you'll get AU offset and need to run au wheels
