i got some hi spec ones but to be honest they are not a lot of good.. the spacers that go in the std calipers that they supply to fit the 32mm wide disk are shite and i had a real problem stopping mine from leaking and the disks warped and i cant really notice any better braking.. they cost 500 new and i wish i had waited and got a second hand kit with some good calipers.

it`s actually worse than shit when thinking about it.. the brackets needed to be skimmed as they were to thik and the 4 holes in the senter of the disks were to small and needed machining to fit, real pain in the arse. Lot of english products seem to be semi-fabricated.

it's a bigger caliper, lighter and has a bigger pad
don't they?

thats utter nonsense the brembo isalot bigger and i can honestly say its like night and day against the old ford 4 pots no fade atal and i can brake a hell of alot later on the brembos
the brembo is almost double the size of the ford one
theyre not Ł1000 for nothing

what discs did you use
i take it that i will need to split the caliper and add a spacer
sorry for all the questions

not really, im no pro

they were second hand AP discs, about 30 something mm thick (although worn from new) on bells of unknown offset
i take it that i will need to split the caliper and add a spacer
yes. i just got some thick aluminium plate and cut it to shape, drilled the small holes for the fluid and then drilled the holes for the rubber seals on the spacers using a wood bit
sorry for all the questions
i just made the mounting brackets from some thick steel plate and a couple of spacers that i had lying about.
