very nice bit of kit though
I can't see how that works, does it angle the caliper away from the inside of the wheel?

So what would be need to fit behind the old style comps as many have the 5200 on a 330 kit

They were revised for extra clearance, sadly its not enough for 330 4 pots

The Rose jointed TRE's allow the disc to be mounted 6mm further inboard which in turn allows the caliper 6mm further in too allowing everything to clear.

Old style CXNs? I have not measured an old wheel.

Chris, as Martin says, they just wouldn't fit mate, i'll show you @ Santa Pod, the clearance now is dead-on, without the TRE's you have no chance mate, i'm not sure that Compomotive got it right saying AP's would fit behind the newer design Split...

These really are the bollocks though, been out again today and the stopping power is imense, nearly through the screen imense... i'd recommend you upgrade Chris, you'll not be disappointed bud..

am i right in remembering that the stardard tre has a big thingy sticking out of it on one side?

not sure why it's there but if you lose that i can see where the clearance issues owuld be resolved

but much safer to use a part that is intended to be used as such as opposed to chopping a bit off something that might need it

That faces backwards Dojj and doesn't get in the way at all.

Very nice upgrade Pete. Would love to get some better brakes on my car too. But don't think AP does a set that fits behind the BBSes.

Are they 8x17 ET35 TH2's? If so 2wd won't be a problem but 4x4 would require a 3mm wheel spacer or bells with that offset included.
