j80leo Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Actually i do have an issue and its the fact that a grown man with a love for his car will do this to it. Ive just read the ebay advert and seen these are just stuck together onto your caliper with silicon ??????? Imi im sorry mate im honestly not having a go at you or Shez but this stuff really is rubbish and no supra not even an uncared for shed deserves this. I am with you on this Dnk, they are shocking just paint the bloody calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 No sure DnK what the issue is. Shez - perhaps you can organise a GroupBuy starting with a poll to see what three are most in demand (so many choices and colours we have to keep things simple) put me down for some red ones if you organise a group buy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Id consider them if they were made out of metal and painted in heat resistant paint wernt just a seal in cover and actually allowed the callipers underneath to cool but those look plastic, and even the allen key bolts are plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 the spark plug cover is plastic....so whats your point? plastic fantastic - remember that when you put you name down on the list..... spark plug area wont generate as much heat as the brakes can. so why didnt toyota make the callipers out of plastic then mr clever clogs?

absz Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 good to see people adding to the list on this quality setup, don't think clearance issues will be a problem as the plastic will soon rub away if hitting the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I am a bit concerned about the quality of this offering. Its to do with this quote in the advert "Install with the high temperature glue (no screw no drill)" I am not sure glue can withstand the temperature generated within the brakes, wouldnt they recommend drilling into the caliper for a more secure fitment. Perhaps one can use the plastic "screws" holes with real screws..... Perhaps that's a roadmap item.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 these were designed for small corsas, saxos etc with tiny callipers that couldnt even generate enough heat to make you go OUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
