A company need to get together with the supplier of these and put a stagered kit together in both 17 & 18"

8" front and 9" rear in both sizes would look awesome and i would put money on them being able to fit most 4 pot brakes behind as it's the inner split stud's that can cause problems but........ i have just fitted my AP's up and no spacers and they go on with mm's to spare so CXN's haven't got a brake problem any more

I'm 20 just did a quote aswell for a 106 1.1, it was £2108 which as about as cheap as it gets, but if my engine was blueprinted, it went up by a grand and 99% of insurance companies would refuse to cover me. ANyways back on topic, I think my favourite example here is staffi's
