Mate of mine was busting one so i pinched these. The Calipers are the same casting, they have CP5111 cast into them but the pins are drilled in a different place, so another shape pad (slightly) but they have proper anti rattle springs, dont know the piston size yet. And the vents are also the same, i got 6 from it.

He hasn't got the seats has he?

Don't care what state they're in, but want some skinny lightweight seats.

Tim,

I;ve heard of one guy getting some seats for 115+vat each from Douglas Valley breakers - surely the only sensible priced component they sell smile

the calipers have bigger pistons, Ive often wondered if theyd be a good partner for a massive front brake upgrade with a proportioning valve in the system.

I know souped up Elises move these to the back and upgrade the fronts.
