give him a ring, i got a brand new set delivered for £225,

Im stuck with my old discs and pads, ill probs just bin them!

I got mine fitted at JBS, Was a very good price i paid,

So, in order to upgrade to FR brakes will 1.2 and 1.4 models need hubs isn't it? Does anyone know 1) how much will the hubs cost? 2) i heard u need to change the bearings as well on each side as well.
Can someone please help with this? Thanks.

 

[gazjones]

yea he has a set on ebay with a buy it now or its running on auction 225 is a bit much at the mo looking to pick them up cheap as cant afford to keep spending loads (holiday money and insurance need saving )

Yes, they make a hell of alot of diference. Really you should have done them before revo, but hey ho. You get a much harder feel to the pedal, and if you stamp on the pedal, you'll stop on a dime, well maybe not that quick, but quick You also dont get the abs kicking in as much i found, but just be careful when they are fitted, not to brake hard going around corners, as the back end goes very light, and could switch ends on you, as i have nearly found a few times when i have forgotten to put the ESP back on.

Nope, believe me, this has been covered many times, as i also was looking into it. You could get something done, but, it could cost some wonga to get done imho.

Yep they are pretty big, and heavy but they are **** hot for the price they cost. Deffinately the best cheap mod you can do IMHO.

Take it easy for about the first 100 miles, as they are pretty slow to stop, but once they are bedded in they are quality.

Enjoy braking as fast as you can accelerate lmao

too right they heavy geez...wondering whether to paint em or not yet. Hope they are as good as they look...might end up with a flat nose yet...
