New brakes!!

[brummiewedge]

I've put the RS Focus discs on and Bremsport calipers in the end, the braking power is absolutely fantastic, there is loads of feel, you can theoretically of course hold the brakes on the edge of howl from 130mph down to zero. Total tranformation.

Got any pics?? I've got a set of the Focus RS discs ready too ..

How is the balance? Do you still have std rears?

[brummiewedge]

If someone can tell me how to post a pic i will! Rears are still std. Spacer bracket was made out of flat 1/4 plate and the caliper needed shimming across by 1mm. The calipers i used only had the slightest clearance, if you used a caliper that had more clearance you might not even need to shim them, although its pot luck how your caliper sits.Cheap conversion though, Discs new off ebay £56, and calipers brand new with cossie front discs £250, and a day tottering around, result priceless! Anyone want cossie the cossie cast offs!?

If you have a look in the TVR General forum I recently posted a noddy guide for doing this.

Glad you like the new brakes,puts new meaning to "point and squirt" when you've got some anchor's.
What thickness are the disc's? as i wouldn't mind these for the rear as it will save me makeing the custom bells,but anything over 25/28mm would be overkill.
