Calipers look great, but I'd be more concerned about that chunk out the sidewall of your tyre :o

Treat yourself to some better rubber next time too.
It’s a lovely motor, it deserves and would benefit from decent tyres. :driving:

Yeah that’s in the plan…I’m not 💯 with mixed budgets so going steady tbf. Got it serviced, spacers were next, front caliper paint and next is rear brake overhaul, drilled discs, brembo pads and proper caliper paint….
Then lower her on H&Ws…
Then one axle at a time replace the budgets with pairs of decent tyres…always liked Toyo proxes tbf so probably them..

Has to wait a bit until she’s been lowered the matched decent tyres will go on…
