Default Anyone using those TVR calipers on a Cossie?

I know Steve Scott sells these TVR Brembo's and the rest of the kit to fit a Cossie and just wondered if anyone on here has them on their car? I have been looking for some 2wd bigger brakes for a week or 2 to no avail and have been offered some of these at a good price with 330mm AP discs and wondered if they were much better than the standard 4 pots??
Cheers Spadge...

Only running small power now mate so don't need huge brakes but also don't want to pay over 500 quid for something that is not much better than standard 2wd set-up of which i have many

Except perhaps when you need new seals. Or maybe a replacement piston. It is absolutely true about AP not wanting to deal with it. They know what is going on with people ripping their calipers off and will ask selective questions to find out if they are legit or not.

Expensive gamble if you ask me.

C&B - You can buy uprated seal kits and pistons from AP tho so that aint ever gonna be an issue
