gave it its anual clean

After much debating i had a couple of people intrested in the brake kit, but none that were forthcoming other than a lot of doubters and people with endless questions. So i though sod it ill fit them

got bored yesterday and decided to get the spanners out.







When i get some more time over the summer, ill get the wheels refurbed and painted white since the lacure is cracking and peeling atm.

First time i stammped on the brakes the steering wheel tryed to mate with my face. and the contents of my passenger seat became one with the glove box

Look good, and sound like a good improvement. how much clearance you got with the dynamics? Finished refubing the calipers ive got yesterday.

[Sc4mpi]

about 3mm

wonder how much 17" would have then! What pads you got fitted?

If it was a standad mg 17" you would need 5mm spacers irc. iv got about 3mm from the wheel to caliper. and thats with a 1mm shim behind the disc. if i had a straight i would give it a try, but i sold my other set

as for pads, there just a set of normal mintex's, but if you manfoot the brake your going to stop violently

No ive got 17" pro 1.2s same as the set you took just smaller and silver lol.

Cant wait for more sets to become available to get mine fitted

if they have the same offset id imagine it would be identical ?

Glad to see you have them fitted.

Mathematically a 16" wheel would clear the disc, but it's the caliper to spoke clearance that is the main issue. The wheels foul on most thing ET42 and above - so standard rims being ET45 in most cases will require spacers to clear the caliper. Then it comes down to spoke shape and design.

ET40's run very close to the brakes.
