TT hoses they are a bit longer as I hear people saying the FR hoses are a tight fit. But I will just hang onto them never know when may need one.
exactly...you never know!
i need to change the actual brake line, slighty worrying to be honest!

right update time!
312mm calipers and carriers are on!
what a size difference, not sure if pics really show it up but they feel lot stronger even after a few miles
Before
After
Oh..also bit of rubber hose i put on the jacking point to help protect it, as car goes up and down quite a bit!
LED sidelights are in, not sure how long they will last!
also strut brace is out so i can re-paint it as it started to flake off.
Oh and bought wrong silvertec bulbs so they need to be changed!

Ace parts got my LEDs form they sent me a new one instantly! They were a bit more than your thou!
OMG you don't use the widow maker Seat jack do you noooo! Funny you say this as my car is looking the wax oil I jack it up so much so need to paint the underside a bit and maybe the wheel arches after my rust issues and taking the arch liner out you see all the mud and crap that gathers they need to be cleaned out once or twice a year really. I also might get my strut brace done with my wheels get it powder coated the paint was flaked off and rusting where the bolts go in when I got it and it happening again now.

Don't know if you have done already, but when my leds bulbs failed, i just emailed the seller and he sent out brand new ones straight away, no proof needed.
The new brakes look greatYou'll really notice the difference once they bed in. Really like the valve caps too
Thanks mate...got the black and red ones on now! i like them
The brakes feel nice and only 50 miles on them so far....
yeah new ones sent straight back out to me, FOC.
No if u look at one of the photos, i use a trolley jack and then axel stands too, would never use the scissors jack!, i use the rubber hose just to protect it a bit when it goes up in the air.
Just sanded my strut brace down and then sprayed it with rattle can primer, then painting it with hammerite...
yeah they replied to say they will send out replacements. Thanks for mentioning it tho!
ah that's good I am a bit lost of the jacking point have to admit as where you meant to put the axle stand when the jack it holding the car up am I not sure I use the right area going on people explanations hard to tell!
umm..loads of places, on the wishbones, or on the longer thicker bits of the chasis further down that kinda stick out, just no where too thin or it will go through the flooring haha
Looks good mate, coming along nicely! Nice brakes too.. something I will be looking into soon hopefully!
Do you notice any difference in handling with the brace, or is it mainly just for show?

cheers,
yeah its coming on ok, getting RARB on there soon too...
Strut brace really is for show, cant really feel much when i took it off at weekend.
whiteline one yeh, stiffest setting for that I never had it on any less but noticed it instantly like you stay strut brace has no effect why I never bother messing up my boor for a rear one.
I think I have chosen the right places to jack up never tried on the wishbones, the back of the car can't remember but when I fitted rear anti roll bar I used axle stand on the rear obviously.
