sooo.. i paid for calipers "plug and play" 580€, new brake hoses 50€, new adapters 80€, new brake pads 105€, and... brakes still doesnt work as they should... rotors are ready to change with newone, becouse those are distroyed due to 4 diferent brake pads that i payed them as "brand new" ... sooo 180€ still to come for new disc...

Guy who sell them to me is not answering anymore... so thank you mate... and after everything... those calipers are from boxster rear set... and they dont brake as they shpuld... but this doesnt matter ... probobly i wont do 1000 miles to get stuff back?
