CasperGTI Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Looking at the way the calliper is designed the RS's may well be alright, if you think where the bolts will be running it will be perfectly in that recess area next to the piston block.Ill have to do a bit of trial fitting, although ill ned to put my hubs back in the car LOL.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Agreed!Thanks Huw. See you at the weekend.Top notch work, as always. How much time do you have off work to do this! How much heavier are the calipers and disks over standard items?Way lighter. The complete caliper, carrier bolts and pads etc weighs in at 3.0kg. A G60 carrier is 1.1kgDo you think they would fit behind 15" bbs ? And car is looking niceee ! Yep. They will with some spacers. Not making any more brackets though.Wow!Brakes look sweet!Car needs cleaning though... haha.. Thanks for your help.

First car to use it and think about where youv put it. Looks great 3M Splitter? Ohhh that carbon work... Found this on flickr... It was a pretty busy week before UD's... Fitted new front bumper, all new bolts, new tow eye covers, washer jets and covers, LCR splitter. Fitted new front arch liners with new screws. Removed side/main beam lights, flatted back and machined polished. Stripped drivers side headlight, cleaned and resealed. Fitted induction kit. Looks, works and sounds great. All pipes satin brushed finish. Modified and refitted engine cover. Removed dash vents and centre console, new drivers side vent, sanded flat and wrapped with 3M Di-Noc vinyl. All done by my bro. New boot handle painted and fitted. Needs redoing as it's not a Lupo one. Stripped, smoothed and re-welded OMP top strut brace, painted satin black. Didn't end up fitting it before UD's. Removed rear arch liners and cleaned inside wheel arches, refitted with new screws. Fitted new gloss black B-pillar trims, painted by Greg. Fitted wheels, spacers, locking bolts and adjusted tracking. Edited May 4, 2020 by 99hjhm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
