I have the same calipers but with 304mm discs (also from Hans) and 16" Estorils will only just fit over them.

Daz they probably will fit behind your 16" Team Dynamics wheels.

Loads of room with 17" SP12's

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.

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

I'd be very surprised if they do, as Swanny says 16's will just fit over 304mm discs, but if you say they can fit over 324mm items ......scratchchin

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

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.

Couldnt get 16" saturns to fit on my 322mm brake upgrade, it will depend on the offset and distance of spokes, and where you wheel weights are positioned

If there is over a 1" gap they will fit ,Sp12 and Pro Race are the same ..

Well if the 304kit fits behind the 16"estorils they must fit behind the pro Race..

Are the discs which bolt on the bells more expensive to replace than standard discs.

All I need is a measurement from the centre to the edge of the calliper.

Why not go for the wms 300mm kit? Much lighter and should fit under original 15"

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?!!?
