Couple of people I know have had problems with calipers leaking, but the prices are certainly better than some makes.

The 4 pots are very good that i have with 335mm disk as Hitchwest says.
My experience is Very Good and the 4 pots are made by a very highly rated caliper manufacturer, and seen on some Audi A8s and 911 turbo's in the past.

Not sure if there was a praticular issue with a certain caliper type !!!!!

My 8x17" wheels with a 3mm spacer are et32, and i have loads and loads of clearance.
I would have thought that an OZ racing wheel would have no issues either if 8" wide.

I am going to be buying a set of fronts and the rear conversion using the standard caliper. Where have you found the rear 4 pots and handbrake caliper?
