Default Peeps wiv 4pots on S1 & S2.

Right i am all ready to mount them on, its just on the pictures i have i can't tell which side the caliper should be mounted???

Is it this side?



Or this side?



Because i aint got me offset bells and rotors yet i am unsure, I know the bleed nipples have to be at the top.

pretty sure it was as per pic2 but you have to remove 4mm from the caliper mounting surface to make them fit.

Nah removing anyfing!! This way i just use the correct off set bells and rotors to overcome skimming the hub and/or calliper.

1st pic you lemon!

look where the disc would have to be in the second pic to enable the disc to rotate through the caliper!

Surely any normal person would have sat the disc on and offered the caliper onto the disc to see where it went?

I hope you got some serious clearence on the back of the wheels cos when I fitted mine as per pic2 my std alloys hit.

I switched to V6 mondeo ones to keep it stock looking.

with std 2wd disks you mount them as pic2, you should have made it clear in your first post.

Dave - Cheers mate, thats what i thought. Wasn't 100% sure tho

McPikie -

DazC - I'm getting the correct bells and rotors off of Mr Rainbird who assures me they will fit.


Moose 130 - I'm working on the same idea as the cossies as they came wiv this brakes behind the original 15" rims, although you prob already knew that

blackRs - Cheers mate.

ACTUALLY ITS THE SECOND PIC!

done this enough times, but as said 4mm needs to be machined off the so that they fit perfectly over standard 2wd disc, if you dont want to do any machining its gonna cost you about £300 to get the correct offset dics, i know which one i would do

does it matter to you at the moment as you'll have to take the caliper off to fit the new rotors and then the caliper will only fit on one way
