Are they floating or solid bolted?

 

I wouldn't bother with any two piece kits unless they are floating, the downside is they are rattly at low speed but the floats enable the two materials (ali & steel) to expand and contract at there own rates and prevent warping ;)

 

Check my build thread for a custom floating AP setup using standard MKIV calipers :D

The other BIG advantage is the weak front upright on 90% of road cars bends in cornering and you get pad knock back. A floating disc helps all but stop this annoying phenomenon. Anyone seriously needing competion standard brakes would be better buying UK made stuff from AP, or Alcon, much of this imported stuff is total junk. You get what you pay for.... I can supply more kits using a flaoting disc in a stock UK front caliper, but tese are NOT cheap. Can you recall how much they were Wez? The price will be higher now due to increased material costs I am afraid. Proper set up though for people using stock UK calipers.

Checked my old mails, in May 2008 they were approx £830 all in :D
