Do they have the Tickford wings on the front calipers? they would also be 330mm rotors with the groves in them.

I had my rotors and pads replaced with the premiums as they were standard for the T1. The fronts alone set me back $1,400. I'm almost certain there are better value aftermarket options for your money.

You see the Premos come up for sale used on here, ebay, wreckers etc every now & again. They're a worthwhile upgrade if you can get them cheap but aftermarket would be better then Fords new price if they still even have them.

They are a fair bit better than standards. Look at aftermarket pads though as I think they still only use the standard pads.
By the looks of it they are still widely available as I think they are using the same grooved rotors on the FPV's as the standard brakes with the option to upgrade to the Brembos. Not 100% on that though.

I can help you out with a set of brand new 4 piston brembo's if you like, but they will set you back $3500 ready to bolt on to the front.
Other options are the Territory, BF XR8 brakes, they are on par with the factory premo brakes. |

The BA premos are a different caliper & slightly different rotors, from memory the diameter is a couple of mm smaller but a couple of mm thicker.
