finally fit my 2.0 brakes today along with drilled and grooved discs and braided lines

first thing i set to was rebuilding the calipers (not fun atall)



quick size comparison on the discs



before:



and after



took this picture before fitting braided lines, also yet to fit the rear lines aswell :s main problem with the whole thing is the brakes feel terrible the pedal goes soo low feel worst than my small brakes so need to sort that at some point and also paint a few more bits up

Have those pads not got a non-frition backing? copper slip on the backs with the no friction backing is a bad idea.

Otherwise, bleed them, Will just be air in the system from doing lines etc. I assume if you pump the pedal it goes hard.
