No not rubbing on that i got rid of that as soon as the coilovers went on moons ago however it is still rubbing badly on the rest of the arch, i had to raise it again today and up the dampening...still no good.

My 12mms come tmoro im not holding out these will make much difference...im genuinly rethinking these shld have researched more before buying but been a hectic week. I cooked my old brakes at knockhill Monday night to the point of no return.

If the reyland ap330mm kit fits under pescaras with no spacers these will be for sale

Update for anybody following this or interested.

12mm spacers are feckn close but there is clearance....tight tho. I fitted them leaving it at the same height as yesterday...a little bit better.

Ive raised them slightly again and i will be doing my long drive home tnite so will have a better idea. I know its only 6mm difference total across both wheels from 15s to 12s but even looks better.

I will stick some pics up tmoro. Brakes look and work amazing must be said. Running mintax1155s. I have bedded them in as per procedure and they do seem good..not tracked or put under heavy use so cant review properly yet.

csrigo:
Had a decent length journey home over a combo of a and b roads....Meh 12s still causing scuffing tho not as bad, the only solution is to raise the coilovers yet again FS..turning my dampening down as well once raised cos its absolutely solid too much for crap scottish roads.

Brakes are great but due to the spacers required no use for anyone wanting decent lows on their car that want to use it on track or potholed/bumpy roads imo.

Also havent got my alignment/geometry set up yet to compensate for the spacers/height adjust obv because im not yet decided on the final ride height required but the understeer and torque steer with these spacers on in the wet is shockingly bad.

Does anyone know if the reyland kit requires spacers under pescaras and if so what size?

Reyland have a 330mm AP kit which they claim works with OE wheels, presumably without spacers. A different set of wheels like TD 1.2 / Neuspeed / OZ Allegerita will however have a different internal spoke profile, which in combination with their typical ET45, will allow you to run with minimal or no spacers. All quite an expensive palaver and if you want to keep the OEM look with Pescara, then there is also the option of using the wider SRS Tech wings.

Cheers mate. Yeah I seen that on their website but it's doesn't state spacers arent required just that they will fit under an 18" wheel...im assuming 18" monzas. I'm definitely wanting to keep the pescaras.

You are right tho mate a bit of a palava but it's my own fault tbh I rushed in which isn't like me. I've had some time today to scroll through the forum and try and research a bit more.

I need to compromise somewhere just need to sus out what I want more...and as it stands just now the wheel bling can take the hit...is anybody on here running the ap330mm setup that can give me a definitive on them under pescaras? Might even just go down the R32 route which I shldve just done the first time pfft lol.
