the cossie 4 pots are not a direct replacement mate you have to have them machined.
they will be sweet though mate
its the 4x4 single pots that fit straight on.
you have to have 4mm machined off the lugs i believe.
i got 4x4 calipers with 2wd discs which are 283mm and they fit under standard rims.
not sure what discs go with them calipers though mate.
