phone LMF and see if they do them by themselves? they do them for the brake upgrade kits they do, is where i got mine from, but i did also buy new discs.

dont mean to hijack your thread so tell me where to go if ya wanna but seeing as were on the topic of v6 brakes, saves me makin a new topic for a quick answer.... i got the v6 setup, braided lines, 5.1 fluid, bled well... its still spongy (for my liking). can i put the 2lt calipers on the 288mm discs to have a smaller piston and less sponge?
cheers!

Dont think you can put 2L calipers on v6 discs unless you modded a bracket to move the caliper out to house the disc

yea im pretty sure. its only the fronts that have changed, and obvioulsy wasnt like it before i changed them. so was wondering about the smaller caliper piston, think it was here i read about it, and using a washer to space it? like you mention daz? does that sound right?
cheers guys

maybe 1 of the seals in your master has inverted whilst bleeding the fronts.

i woudl suggest claming off each hose separatly, to try find trapped air...
..but with braided hoses thats not really possible lol..

put your 256's back on see if the spongyness goes
