And She certainly needed them Got a similar problem with the SEAC!

They are only 8mm spacers and you need 10 mm

Plus I may have found a source of new ones cheeper than the S/H ones on ebay.

Will let you know soon

Are the Hi-spec brake conversions any good, does any one know? seem like a good price.

Ummm they are sexy.

Have the hi-spec stuff and happy with it. Vented 300mm 4-pot and it fits in the standard 15" rims (over 10.000 miles in use now and several track days). Only grooved, not drilled. With dot 5.1 brake fluid and decent fast road pads (used EBC green stuff or Mintex until now) and they last forever. Not at the back though, and still have to get those air ducts on the endless 'wedge to do' list. If you do a search other 'experiences'/information will pop up.

Got them on the 400SE Leigh, come and have a look on Monday.

I used princess brakes on another wedge and thought they were heavy as well as being pretty crap. Surely the hi spec items will be a lot better as are willwoods.

THey look nice, might even feel like they stop the car

[Boosted LS1]

A friend fitted willwoods and they worked really well, his car was a track tr7. I think the princess calipers have fairly small pistons whereas the willwoods pistons area was greater. They were light as well.

[TVRleigh]

Anyone know what disc's you need to go with the princess calipers.
They are to go on a 280i but with 15" 400SE wheels.

Thanks

Thats a little expensive

[Boosted LS1]

Look at the Willwoods.

Leigh, my kit used 2.8i vented discs with caliper spacers which I made. Nowadays I think you can buy the spacers and seals and make up your own pipework. I had a tr8 hence the reason these calipers just weren't up to the job

That's my neck of the woods. I've seen that chav-tastic Golf around the area with a load of the usual suspects in it.

Hi LS1,

Have you got the part numbers for the 2.8i disc's and do they have the long bell on them

Thanks
