Default Brembo's fitted to AU

What was the Brembo package that was fitted to the T series and Pursuits?

Was it 6/4 .. 4/4 .. 4/1?
I'm thinking about a 4/1 set up for the ute rather than the BFxr8 fronts i intended on using. The 1 piston rears, are they just the standard AU 2/3 PBR's? Also with the 4 piston fronts, are they the same as any newer model or does the AU only fit the AU? What size rotors do these run?

Darren.

I can confirm 100% they ran a 4/4 package. Have some on mine from a T3 TS50. 355mm front, 330mm rear rotors.

Front.


Rear.

As mentioned i was only going to run 4/1 and mine being a ute seems the right option from what your saying. The premium brakes were standard rears but apart from Brembo i've never heard of the rears on series 2/3 being any other? Anyone know what they ran if not standard or Brembo?

I intend to run 6/4 on my ute but have been made aware there is a chance of pad knock off from wear in the diff bearings. Mono block calipers and disc movement dont go well together apparently. But there are ways to fix it. I've been told bigger bearings but myself will be running a floating diff anyway which should negate this issue, that is if i don't change my mind and put all my stuff in a sedan which i'm thinking about at the moment lol.
