Default BA falcon brake upgrade to fit in 16" wheels

Hi, I am after a brake upgrade to fit within the standard 16" BA wheels.
Is there anything available that simply bolts on and without having to get bigger wheels?
If it is available please advise how much
The standard brakes I have at the moment turn to mush in heavy traffic and sudden stops.
Cheers

Steve

There isn't anything i am aware of but have you tried your wheel over the 322mm BF xr6t brakes as these generally need 17" wheels we sometimes see a larger 16" fit or i could make you something custom just depends on your budget.

Hi, Thanks for the response.
Would you know the diameter of that rotor and caliper combination?
Or do they use the same caliper?
Cheers

322mm rotor and virtually the same caliper as you are running.

I have posted some photo's in this thread. Who know's PBR calipers ?

The red ones are the factory fitted Territory front calipers on a 322 rotor (I painted them)
The bare ones are the factory fitted RTV front calipers on a 298 rotor.

My 16" RTV wheels (CSA Spirit) do not fit over the Territory combination. Though they are high load rated wheel (900kg) so may be more substantial than some others.

And the RTV calipers after a paint job - black this time.

Between the 298mm and the 322mm it is the cradle that adapts the caliper.
