nice buy mate, but i can't help but wonder why they are canting the calipers up like that?

mmm some symmetry is there, not enough precision placement though... young padowan
Them brackets beefy enough? should look good! Can't help but think 310mm is overkill though haha

Really Overkill!?! Eddie c'mon, you love overkill!!
I am still learning master. Next time I will pose on a bucket seat and make stupid hand gestures :yes:
10mm steel?! Id be very concerned if I could bend/break them! Yeah 310mm is overkill, standard 280mm & single pot calipers do the job well enough. I could've just bought some new standard disc/pads for £50 and saved myself £300 but I want to see if I can pull my own face off, cos hell, the acceleration isn't going to!

To an extent, Some things have a more limited/compounded side effects compared to some in the pursuit of overkill (OCD) haha
Like having bigger brakes with bigger rotors you have more rotational mass/unsprung weight. Yet its not compounded there, then your forced to have bigger wheels with bigger offset etc with further rotational mass then more unsprung weight too. But its always a trade off just sometimes is more-so
When you getting them on Liam, what rims you planning to run with this setup
They'll be on once all the parts on my list have arrived and I have a spare weekend as ill be undersealing and touching up the rear arches at the same time (it'll take 2 days to get the lot done).
They'll be going under my Pro Race 1.2s. Hopefully. Clearance diameter wise shouldn't be a problem providing the brackets don't push the calipers out miles. The only thing im unsure on is them clearing the spokes but if they dont ill have to get some spacers from Supaforma.

Liam, it ought to ! :lol: Mine's is running standard front discs, grooved rears, Mintex pads, HEL brake lines & Dot 5 fluid - it stops on a dime !
Yeah they are boi! :wink:
Another little update;
So as ive got nearly all the shopping, I decided to sort out the rear beam ready for fitting
Forgot to take a before picture, but everyone knows what a rusty rear beam looks like! Here goes;
Waxoyl'd
Bushes Removed
New Discs & Brackets...
...and painted
Rear Calipers and Carriers Painted
Disc Guards Cut and Painted
New Pads and Brake Lines
Brake Assy Before
Brake Assy After
almost Finished Beam...
...and with wheels for ease of fitment
Just awaiting delivery of my polybushes and then its ready to fit!
