Go Forth and multiply Mr Bell End!

:booty: :booty:


John - Custom carriers fitted, and very very well made.  They are 996 Twin Turbo Calipers, with 36/44 pistons.  First impressions, the pedal is higher, and bite is good.



Pads are a fast road pad, and I have race pads as a back up.

Need to get some miles on them now.

Very nice.
Are these floating discs?
Early next year i will be going Bigger frontswith floating rotors(I do rate the R32 setup tho)

Not floating.  That is the next thing on the agenda, sometime next year though!  They are so pricey!

350 mm D/G.  Been using them for a few miles (25) and no noises as yet............

Tom, I think that pic exaggerates the clearance...........

Correct - no spacers.  The wheels are BBS VZ's, so a larger wheel - 8J compared to 7 1/2 J and ET44 opposed to 51.

Still got quite a bit of room behind there.


Cost me a lot lot less than the £1400 (ish) for a aftermarket kit.
