Not sure of any garages in your area but, make sure the calipers will fit inside your wheels, you might need spacers

Kwik Fit said they'd fit em for £60. So thats proly a saving of £200 on what JC's would have charged.

KJ, prepare yourself for constantly bleeding the brake system, assumimg they are the 10 pot ones, awesome stopping power, but a pain in the proverbial for needing bled :cool:

i'm getting some extremely high boiling point break fluid so hopefully it wont be as bad as i previously thought. I read about the air getting trapped in the hoses but i reckon i'll be ok. Since i dont drive it that much i'm hoping its not gonna be too much of a pain . lol.

i dont suppose you'd know the best place for the fluid do you Alan? i'm gonna go to a few places in dundee over the weekend to see what i can find.

i'm going to try and get my hands on Motul's RBF 600 fluid or their 5.1 fluid.

The air gets in past the pistons, nowt to do with the fluid, any reasonable 5.1 fluid should be adequate for your needs, any reputable car accessory shop or even Halfords might have some
