Default Re: Genuine Ford Parts

Howdy GT Legend. I'm hoping I can use your knowledge and skills in parts interpretation to provide some guidance on a brake-related issue, and point me towards the right parts if required.

I've got an FG F6 310 2009 model that came fitted with the basic Brembo 4-pot fronts and single-pot (red painted) rear callipers. I've managed to snag a used set of the "Premium Brake Package" 6-pot Brembo front and 4-pot rear Brembo callipers with Goodridge lines that apparently suit an FG like mine. The fronts fit perfectly using the existing rotors, however the rear callipers don't seem to suit the rear rotors. Does the premium 4-pot rear Brembo brake setup require a different rotor than the basic FPV single-pot rear brake setup? Diameter seems to suit, but the "offset" of the rotor seems just wrong and I've ended up with the inside pad jammed hard up against the inside face of the rotor when fitted up.

Given that these callipers were bought secondhand, I'm also considering the possibility that the rear callipers may not be correct for my car, although I'm hoping it's just that I need the specific rotors for the 4-pot rear callipers. If the latter is the case, I might just get a full set of front and rear Premium Brake package rotors to suit the FG F6.

I appreciate your time considering my query. You've certainly saved my bacon a few times and your services are a bloody godsend for this forum, and for anyone keeping an "obsolete" Ford on the road.

Cheers,
Ben
