HELP: Problems with Compbrake Kit
Today i tried to instal my compbrake 6 Pot kit on my 4x4 Sapph, but i have some big problems.
The Rotors are much to close at the roadends.
The rotors are not in the middle of the callipers
And the brakelines are much to long
Does anybody know this problems and can help me???

I think it is most likely the bells, or maybe something just got accidentally mislabled, the person you got them off is ok so will soon sort it for you I'm sure.
How does this affect the TUV or doesn't it come into it ?

Brocker,
I am reffering to your TUV, test like our MOT test, as I know it is very different from ours, I thought they were really picky about any modifications at all, I know my mates were always moaning about this when I lived out for 16 years.

I am taking a look at the copy paperwork later today to see what parts have been sent to you. Dont panic.
Apologies for not being around yesterday, but weekend was my playtime.
