  1. getting pist then meeting myspace date (if ugly ill be going clubbing with me mates)
  2. Not that I know of, sounds like a lot of work though
  3. makes sence thanks;) the redstuff pads come cheap they will do for the mo, I had to buy a set of pads so I could set the whole lot up in a jig. Im running endless on the fronts at the mo which are great
  4. the size of the disk is still being covered by the same sized pad though. next time I have them apart i will measure the caliper piston size and the pad sizes aswell
  5. I am running evo front disks 320mm diam, uk front disks are 325mm so in theory im loosing 2.5mm from the radius from using evo disks over uk's On the rears im using Jspec disks 307mm uk supra 322mm again im loosing 7.5mm from the radius in my personal opinion this is not a great deal of loss to worry about the only gain I guess would be more heat dissipation through a bigger disk, but with a loss of 2.5mm and 7.5mm will this be noticeable? The argument with regards to the weight differences between cars I do not have any specs on the weights of either cars. With regards to performance, my car is running just shy of 600bhp I had the chance to put them to the test last sunday this will be the front conversion not with the rears on aswell, i managed speeds of upto 185mph over several laps with no problems at all some brake fade but this did not result in a total loss in braking and they were quick to recover. I had a few laps paired up with John (pig) running the same power with a full UK brake setup would be nice to see how they were compaired to mine. Im not trying to promote these kits, im just trying to put my side up.
  6. I was running standard J specs mate, did not want to pay the money uk brakes were going for, think from the two I have a better setup
  7. the rears werte fairly simple but the fronts needed a lot more work with brakets making and collets machined up
  8. I have these sorted now thanks for your help
  9. I had one on my 300zx look great but found it hard work to use

  11. After melting my rear pads to the metal and cracking both rear disks at RAF marham I had to get my arse into gear and get the Evo 8 brembo calipers fitted to my car, I ordered up some turbo groove disks sunday night, I already had some ebc redstuff pads to go in the calipers, I then done some modifications to the calipers, here are the results Not had a chance to try them out yet after putting the wheels back on I found both my rear wheel bearings are shagged as soon as I do ill post up my opinion

Been fitting my rear evo brembo calipers today and at the last minute noticed the clips that stop the pads rattling under the retaining pins are missing I need either 2 new ones or secondhand would do.
