heres the bad part, only now we realised i had the wrong disc's,
cossie disc's are 278mm, these were sadly 260mm
still better than my 240mm disc's currently on the car,
so will be abusing the lad who sold my the brake setup including these wrong disc's
a pic to show the small difference

all the brake fluid was bleed completely until it was only the new 5.1 fluid inside,
a quick shot to show the brakes behind the wheels, even tho their the wrong disc's,
i'm still happy with the improvement visually, also still much better physically braking
cant wait to see the difference with the proper disc's
