Is it true Joe? I hear your getting your hands dirty tomorrow and installing new stoppers? Any chance you could do some brake adjustments on GTB STI while your at it?

All done

Thanks to Rob (Volatile Customs) for the workshop, and Jme and Adz for their help today!

Easy as fuck to install. Direct bolt on!! Remove old brakes, fit new ones, bleed brakes, done.

They suit the offset of the rims perfectly too... the manufacturer states that there needs to be 3mm minimum spoke to caliper clearance, I have about 10mm.. but because of the design of the rims, the clearance LOOKS a lot less... it really fills the rim out.

They are still being bedded in, but they feel fantastic. Can't wait to stomp on them!

Hoisted up.




All the parts ready to go.



Size comparison... MUCH bigger than the stock brakes!!




Brackets installed.




WTF.




All done!.




After taking them for a drive around the block, the protective coating has worn off the rotors, as have all the dirty fingerprints.
