Just looking at these , what is needed to complete the conversion , what discs etc and any drilling etc .do i need different pads , i have the early 252mm rear solid discs , thought the conversion would be the best way to go with my the front upgrade .

I have the early set up , 252mm solid , they do look a bit pathetic .I just wanted to bring them up to the same spec as the front cossie set up .. I`m still not sure what i need to complete the conversion .it now seems very complicated .I would be interested in the later standard set up what would i need and is it a bolt off bolt on job .

Thats a weird one , i used these numbers as a cross reference Quinton Hazell QWB 532 and QWB 533 ... When i got them i found one of the kits to have a slightly smaller inner diameter so the stub bit would not go through the bearings .The suppliers told me they supplied them because i asked for them but there for two different cars !.

Yes your right, the company Sutton autofactors import bearings then box them .They made a mistake on a batch and put the wrong bearings in the the boxes marked QWB532.. caused me alot of inconvenience.
