Brake upgrade ....

From this .......



To this ....



..... and very happy I am. Lacking initial bite at the moment, but that I think is due to the pads and disks having sat around for a considerable time before fitting, along with a probable necessity to rebleed the system.

However, the power these offer is fantastic, simply awesome when you call on them, trying not to use them hard at all at the moment to bed them in properly, but you have to have a little try !!

Edited to add that the chassis is filthy and will be cleaned, fitted at my folks in rural norfolk which at this time of year the roads just resemble the fields they fit between !!!

BTW I will also be cleaning up and repainting my wishbones over the next month or so, at the same time as replacing the bushes and fitting Nitrons!

300mm, drilled and grooved. I didn't want drilled but they already were so we'll see how they get on.

As for the old calipers and disks, drom me an offer by email and I'm sure we can sort it out. They have fast road Red Dot pads in at the moment.

From what I see you still use the same hub and bolt pattern as before? The only thing you needed to do was to swap discs, use an adapter for the new callipers and then set off...?

If so, where did you buy the kit and to what cost?
