They'd sit behind my 17's ok, nice. Daz have you seen the Brembo's off BMW E38 with focus disks, I think!!! Der. That's supposed to be good for stopping, at the mo that's my preferred choice but if I had a spare 500 quid I'd snap those babies up. Not sure if the focus disks sit behind16's?
I reckon after only one dry trackday, brakes are the main thing that would have saved me loads of time!
Don't know about anyone else but mine are slow at working then get a little better!!!!
Rears are more than adequate though, thoughts please.

Thought you were happy with your cosworth set up Daz.
Yes iam but after selling the Coworth ones it`s going to be a cheap job ..I know his kits work and are a one fit solution ..I`m aware you can make your own kit up but when it comes to brakes they need to be spot on.
Am I better keeping away from bells ,are they more expensive to replace .. So what fill fit behind the Pro Race 16" rim

What size are those discs on the 17"Sp12`s ..could you measure the gap ? thanks
304mm, both pics are of the same brakes on my Chim. Will get a rough measurement tomorrow. Wheel design plays a large part on whether they'll fit or not - I had a very similar set-up on my old Griff but the Ford RS 7 spokes needed 10mm spacers to clear the caliper.

There is not much room between the caliper and the rim on my 17's

If there is over a 1" gap they will fit ,Sp12 and Pro Race are the same ..Wheel design plays a large part on whether they'll fit or not - I had a very similar set-up on my old Griff but the Ford RS 7 spokes needed 10mm spacers to clear the caliper.
Now there a good point knowones mentioned before, weight! Oli do you have a link to those brakes please, I'd like to have a look. No worries I'm sure I can find em.
Weight is the big speed killer, any weight you could get away from the outside edge must be a good thing. Were talking grammes here arn't we?!!?
