Bengie' date=' I'm surprised you cleaned the brakes!

Look good BTW.[/quote']

not on the car yet is it

and even though i knew the measurements of them i was still shocked at the size of the buggers!!

yep' date=' 323mm.

so what is the GT kit then??[/quote']

Same as the those on the LCR but an official kit made by Brembo rather than the kits Badger5 do which is made using OEM parts. Uses drilled discs as standard and I believe there's a very slight difference on the calipers.

cheers eddy

which ever kit it is they are fooking big!!!

honestly can't wait!!

they wont go behind 16" rims and you wont get anywhere to "shave" the wheels to get them in. thats a daft idea and you are a numpty

17's minimum i'd say. the LCR runs 18's as standard and they pretty much fill those.

They fit behind the 17" super turismo's on my Golf quite easily, I'll post some pics when I get home tonight.

Are they clean yet?

They'll look great behind spinners

spinners my ar$e

:P

just got in from work and the cleaning begins!!

Cracked me up this thread

Just trying to work out how we got from 13" to 323 mm though

easy, 323mm = about 12.7 inches

i was talking discs you dirty minded fool!

More pics for you:

one question, how do i get the bloody pads out!!!!

i have got the springy thing out and they retaining pins are spinning free but i cna't get the sodding things out!

help please!

A small round drift/punch will knock them out from the inside.

cheers, i'll wait till they are on the car i think so they are solid in place

More pics for you:

Can't believe you have glued a small childs hand to a peice of wood you nasty sod

Nails are much more effective

HAve you got wheels sorted yet Bengie?

Hehe, they look familiar.

As Lummox said, at the top and bottom sides of the calipers, there's a little hole (probably covered up in crud) that you can hammer a small drift through a bit. You'll see the longish pin that holds the sprung pad retaining clips in place.

I thought you had to take the calipers off the disc, but then a wise man indicated you can actually change pads in 3 mins. You'll have to pull the caliper pistons back though if the new pads have more meat than the old ones of if they don't fit in between the pistons and the disc.

edit, see pic

well, whilst adjusting my suspension i have just tried em and bu66er it they don't fit. quite close but ain't never ever gonna fit :(

definitly need some new wheels, its all money money money
