i know i was gonna say i have it and i fitted it twice but the arch is being a complete c*nt, im gonna take it to get properly put back together round at a friends and then the liner will go back in.
saying that i was waiting in the parts department when i bought it, i was waiting for ages because they were all standing staring at the fanblades on my car outside

but tbh its my personality i dont like to do the same as others, i probably should have but i like to do things differently. its like im going to have to find my own way of tweaking the brakes now, and i like that. i dont want to read someones elses thread on how to tweak them to give my brakes the feel that thwy have set theirs up to be tbh.

i dont understand people that want to be differentjust for the sake of being different. I cxan understand that on some things, but these are brakes...i would want the best tryed and tested method for the money tbh. I wouldnt care if the next man had them. If they stopped me better thats al that matters.
Theres no real way of tweaking brakes realli, unless you get braided hose lines, a bigger master cylinder or re bleed them...which again...anyone can do so you wont be doing anything different

Hamish shut up. There is no need for arguing over a set of brakes which are the same, all but a couple of mm.

A bigger slave cylinder with the same sized master cylinder would equal less pressure on the pads with the same ammount of pressure on the pedal so you're kinda shooting yourself in the saying that.

Hamish, there is no point in arguing basic physics. However they do increase your braking power due to the larger disks and the wider ventilated disks cool quicker.

well theyre v spongy, it takes a lot of pushing to give any bite, just the norm with any kind of brake upgrade, should be all done by the end of the week tho

also gives me time to rewire front passenger speaker and start building my boot build in my week of work woop woop!!!
