Mandy,
Do you not have any pictures or comments on the new brakes?
I thought they were being fitted on Friday?

 :popcornsoda:

Car went to the garage, then they realised there were no pins and shims in the kit. Jonny must've forgotten to send them back with the calipers, he's on hol for a week so will have to wait til he returns... :ashamed: :sad1:

He was my first point of call lol, spoke to him but he's 2 pins short. Offered me a new set but would seem silly to waste £50 when I already have some! :rolleye:

How are you finding your brakes Rich?

They are amazing. Really really happy with them... even though they do cost 4 arms and a dozen kidneys.

Brakes are finally on...





Had to remove the dust shields as they weren't big enough for these discs, not sure if we need to buy some bigger ones or just leave them off?

There is a massive difference in the weight of the calipers, I couldn't believe it. You can definitely feel the weight saving through the steering. :driver:
