Happy new FMIC carl.

ETA on it?

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Finally

Coolio, didnt realise that, with the disks being bigger, the calipers will sit out further so should fit around my stupid spokes. Any idea whether the calipers are much fatter than the standard ibiza ones? (Stupid offset wheels)

Yeah - they're pretty broad. I am running 4mm spacers to allow some clearance.

They do work well - and are less 'grabby' than brembos - I'm looking at changing the master cylinder for a bigger one to improve pedal feel on mine

 

[PhilW]

4mm spacers on what wheels mork?

 

[davidol]

mork wouldnt the "grabbyness" be down to the pad choice though rather than the caliper itself?

lol i wasnt gonna tell any of u till it was fitted

20VT 5 spokes

they cleared by ET38 Super T's fine though.

I'm running CM pads in them & they're not grabby, but do work very well if I drag the brakes (work fine when cold)

Wicked Cheers Mork, i had to run spacers 5mm, but could use 3mm, on my alloys over standard brakes, so maybe, 5mm would be ok with the 312mm brakes.

Cheers for that,

Happy New FMIC Carl!

Phil, I dont like horses, they are pointless animals!

 

[acidstrato]
