Yep, well easy to fit if you have the tools and know what you are doing. No ramp needed. :)

I just used Axle stands, and had some longish breaker bars as the bolts holding the current brakes on were quite stiff.

How much do the discs weigh Dan? May go this route with mine rather than the VWR kit.

The 362mm's are 9.2Kg with bells.

My old 330mm AP's were 6.6kg with bells

The OEM 312mm are 8.9kg

Thats per disc.

Will weigh my VWR discs to see what the difference is with them to compare - they are 360mm too.

Can you ping me a message with the details of the bells and discs please sir.

Running 60mm studs.
They are a tad short with the 10mm spacers I run on the front as you can see, but work fine :)

Heres something you dont see very often.. Pictures of my engine bay:

Replaced the underbonnet soundproofing as the old one was all mouldy and saggy due to the common water leak problem.
To try and stop this problem this time, I painted the underside of it with rubberised paint.

This car is brilliant, I really want 4wd on mine but after spending a shed load of money on my rebuild I can't afford it. I think the next big thing for mine would be 4wd after a load of other stuff first. How you finding the new Garrett? Does it have faster spool with it been the newer design? Any more updates?
