Wasn't even aware of this brand, another reason not to have them :lol:

I think with things like brakes where the brand is always on show, its worth spending the extra to get decent ones... just my opinion :mrgreen:

Ahh, got you.

Endless are supposed to be quality though, just a shame they don't do a bolt on kit for the Mk2, I'd rather have those than brembo, AP, hi-spec, etc. just to keep it japanese.

Actually Envy does say on the product page POA so maybe they do a kit for the MK2.

It's only a case of having the appropriate brackets (for the front anyway), well that's the hardest bit.

Shame they wouldn't fit under my standard wheels, oh well, I'm happy enough with the standard brakes.

Having multispoke wheels helps, I think if you get thin 5 spokes you need to upgrade or you're just making a point of having small brakes :lol:

I feel sorry for genuine Endless customers.

Now everyone will assume their big brakes are ebay covers, when in fact they probably cost £hundreds.

Harry, as for your questions:

A Why buy fake?
B Why buy some thing not going to do a specific function as in improve braking?
D Why be a nob?
E Why dress like a pro and play like a fool?


I guess its the typical answers:

A - Cheaper
B - they might not need their braking improved (lets be honest, most are going on 1.2 corsas)
C - there wasn't a C
D - they can't help it
E - because all of the other fools they hang round with won't be able to tell the difference, and dressing like a pro might marginally improve their chances of having sex.

as a cosmetic mod they look better than painted stock calipers.
nobody would seriously expect it to make their brakes better though, surely.

can't believe there was somebody on here that hadn't even heard of endless as a brand ! oh well ...

I've just bought a turbo with 17" black 5 spoked wheels, very thin spokes, and thought these might be a way of tidying up the manky callipers, now having read all your comments I just feel dirty for even thinking it.....
What is the best way of making the calipers look respectable, Without buying a real big brake kit.
