[gavinda]

i got em off an imoc member, in fact u showed me a picture of em before i had collected them from him.
yeah im running them 18"s and they just clear front and back with a bit of work and spacering

[Leakie Tbar]

Oh yeah , How you doing M8 did you get home ok?

cheers for the pic have you put the wolfkatz 1" master cylinder on

[gavinda]

no, i spent the night at scotch corner and there were no rooms so i had to sleep in the 2,
alternator was cutting out, swapped a new one on and been ok since

[gavinda]

i am looking to get the master cylinder upgrade as pedal tavel is quite substantial.

[Leakie Tbar]

how did you get home?

[gavinda]

bought a battery in the morning then drove home

nice rear brake setup, that's a big disc too!

I have 6 pot 330mm fronts and the 4pot 300mm at the back with the sva cable handbrake.

Bought them from Hispec direct as I only live about 5 miles away from them.

I've tried to keep the front to rear brake balance as good as possible.

They've been round the ring very recently and did an epic job and seemed to just get better and better as the day went on. I have Ferrodo DS2500 pads as well.

Still the standard master cylinder - could do with an upgrade but they're not overly long or squishy.

What do you wanna know?

[Leakie Tbar]

How much did you pay for the rears if you dont mind me asking?

also is the handbrake fit for purpose ??

[pnicho]

Paid whatever the list price was for them back in January/Feb. (A lot).

The handbrake needs adjusting well to make it work well but it passed the mot no problems etc so can't be that bad. I wouldn't leave it on a massive hill without the car in gear but I've no problems just pulling it up and leaving it. It's got better over time as well which is weird. Cables need tightening after about a month.

I have some pics somewhere, pm me your email and I'll send them if you want.

i have 8 pot calipers 330mm discs front with standard caliper moved out at the rear ,i would like 6 pot rears but all the ones i see lose the handbrake & you have to fit a hydraulic handbrake which is a M.O.T failure,so what kit are you guys running if you still have a cable operated handbrake am interested to know
thanks nick

Cheers ye I know where hi spec is I used to work just up the road at whitehouse Toyota just wanted to know how hi spec done it !! I don't want them as I want to match my 8 k sports on the front , the 6 pot k sport rears require a hydraulic handbrake

By using a cable. Look on their website - it's not too hard.

looking at there web site you buy a seperate caliper same ide as some porsche & ferraris
not to bad either at £65.00 + vat each time to start saving for me k sport 6 pots

[pnicho]

No you don't.

They have a built in handbrake caliper on the main caliper that has a seperate mechanism and pads for the handbrake. The spot caliper is not what this thread is about and I wouldn't use that with a K-sport caliper as you don't know where the mounting points will be.

This is what we're on about.
