Looking good-can you feel the difference?

 

[jonnyfive]

andysat , i havnt really giving them a proper work out yet , just getting a feel for them at the mo and make sure there's no probs but on initial thoughts there feel just like standard brakes until you put ya foot down hard than there feel ya going to flip the car arse over tit. :roll:

looks like a banana


there must be some sort of banana skin joke here but I can't quite find it.
I think I would paint them black.

And this from a man with a pink van

beedub yes fitted with help from a friend who has a bit more experience but he was more of a guide really and help with the bleeding process ---pedal up, up, pedal down , down and so on .Really pleased with the results

Looking great, I like the yellow colour

 

[billygilly]

jonnyfive, these look great mate, really like the BMW performance badging for the more OEM look. Hope your still enjoying them, I really liked the fact that there was no real difference in braking until you called on it

:wub:

[cj10jeeper]

They look awesome - great mod

 

[marksdesigns]

Really cool, well worth the wait!

 

[sam1832]

they look good

did you have to change the master cylinder as well?

and did you go for braided hoses while you were at it?

 

[billygilly]

I believe if it was as I gave him, it was simply calipers, discs and the braided hoses they came with, very simple to fit

 

[Adamski]

Impressive amount of stopping power

 

[Aebous]

I've been tossing that idea around as well. I thought there would of been more into swapping them. Do you need to swap front & rears as well or can you do just fronts?

 

[jonnyfive]

I think due to the front biased you can get away with the fronts and fit a more aggressive pad on the rears. I finaly gave them a real test yesterday and not by choice a car in front of me decided to break hard at a green traffic light for no reason apart from the fact he must of been colour blind or trying a insurance claim , anyway pulled up no problems and also I had the seal of approval from the missis to , I hold her it wasn't a waste of money .

Very, very nice. Well done.
