Well no,- the pair of calipers cost around that, but the whole set up cost in the region of £500 once I had the offset altered, bought the discs & had grooves milled in them, missing fittings for the calipers, Pads, Hoses, Fluid etc

I was intending to go the Ibiza R Brembo route until the prices shot up over night

much difference between thouse and the AP Seat sport items?

£500 is still cheaper than other 4 pots aint it?

Don't think they'd fit on my 6' Ibiza Cupra wheels though, good excuse to get some new wheels....

Based on new parts @ RRP, the AP's would work out dearer than a Brembo kit from Badger5.

I went the AP route as the pair I got were an absolute bargain & I had the expertise to make em fit.

You'd be better off with brembo's IMHO,- a direct bolt on kit & friendlier wheel clearence wise.

What strut brace you using mate? Want to get one for the Cordy but as I don't know 100% what engine I'm fitting I don't know what clearance issues I might have grrr, too many unknowns lol

What coilovers you using too? ;)

No not yet, it wont foul a vr6 or 20vt tho, unless your sticking a big block chevy engine in it.

Good news, my Jetex system & other bits are in the country, so should have it by monday:)

The work continues.....

Decided to pull my finger out this afternoon to get the Batmobile ready for the Brands trackevening.

The Omp strutbrace that fitted my old Ibiza a treat doesnt fit staight on as it fouls the expansion tank and access to the filler cap would be impossible.

And now its raining:censored: .

whipped out the coilovers in preperation and offered up the new topmounts and it seems the thread on the top of the damper rod is too short:think:

hope I've got the right kit:cry:
