Have just picked up a set of these calipers for my Edition. :happy2:

Question I have is, will they fit behind the standard Edition 30 alloys or will spacers be required?   :smiley:

Also who is it on here that re-furbs calipers?

Thanks

Send an email to Jonny at brakecaliperrefurb.co.uk (as recommended by DaveB), he refurb'd mine and they look immense, he was offering free Composite ceramic protection finish for peeps on the forum, not sure if he's still doing that but worth asking.

i think you will need more than a 3mm with the pescara tbh and then rubbing issues will arise

Hmmm...may have to sell and opt for the smaller set up as I do not want to change alloys.  :confused:

Would be a shame !  Do you have the stock 18" Monza II ? Maybe you could try the fit and use washers to temporarily determin the needed amount of spacers ?  :smiley:

The only kit that will fit behind a Pescara with no spacers is the 330mm AP racing kit using the CP5200 Caliper

They're only 7.5" wide there's only so much you can do. If somebody is he'll bent on sticking with the pesky pescaras then get the 360mm B5 RS4 kit its twin piston and an excellent pedal track proven and loads of pads available from DS2500 right through to RS29

They're cheap to buy but discs are expensive but last a long time, even with new discs and refurbed it would be inside of £800 and very OEM++

Top Cat was the first to fit them and gave very good feedback did a ring trip and a track day or two had a few issues with compound compatibility but they always reportedly felt very strong
