Hay ppl just a question on new brakes

Seeing how ford rims fit on 96 magnas up i was wondering if it would be at all possible to fit ford brakes on my magna?

disks,calipers,pads and any thing else that is in the brakeing set up :?

Cheers

Only Pre-AU ford rims fit and the offset is wrong anyways - stud pattern is the same - offset is different.

And no it wouldn't be possible as the falcon is RWD and the Magna is FWD - the setup's on the different cars vary too much to make it an easy cnversion.

However RPW have front brake upgrades coming soon for only $700 so it is all good - larger rotors and better calipers.

you can get new cross drilled brakes and stuff for a ford for about $660 and if i rember corectly new brakes for a magna are over 1k (not sure of the exact price)

And the ford is a hevier car so in theory they should stop a lighter car more efectivly. true :?
