Heres a few pics, sorry for the ordinary shots, these were taken on my phone. I dont have any of the car as it sits, it was too dark by the time we were finished. Will taken some better pics over the weekend.What you get in the kit.Briaded lines. These are not included and need to be purchased seperatley.Front comparison - Harrop (381mm) VS Brembo (355mm)Rear comparison - Harrop (356mm) VS Brembo (328mm)Brembo 4 pot frontsHarrop 6 pot frontPBR rearsHarrop rearsFront with wheel on.This gives you an idea on how much clearance left on a 20" wheel. I'm guessing a number of 19" wheel would not fit.Surprisingly there is MUCH more clearance on the front compared to the Brembos. Previous I needed to run a 3mm spacer just to clear the Brembo caliper. The Harrops fit with 10-15mm to spare. Would allow for more aggressive wheel fitments The rear fitment is a different story, these are very large compared to the PBR's and I struggled to get my 20x10 to fit over them. In the end I had to space them.So initiale thoughts..... they look porn. There is definitely a marked improvement in the stopping distance with this setup, it bites alot harder. The supplied pads (I think they are Bendix SRT but not sure) seem to want a bit of heat before they really start to perform, so perhaps not the best pad selection for the street. Keep in mind I have only travelled 50km with these so will still need to bed in correctly.Admitedley I am a bit dissappointed with the initiale pedal feel... its just too soft. I was expecting it to be same or better than factory setup, perhaps my expectations were misguided. For the street I can get used to it, but if you were buying these for track work I wouldnt be happy. The brake fluid was flushed and bleed so confident there is no air in the lines, perhaps a larger master cylinder would remedy this but didnt expect this would be needed. Time will tell, this may improve.I'll get a few more km on them, take some more pics and update everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a fluid swap if still spongy after bed in. They look fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear only had a few mm clearance even with the FPV wheels I had to end up using.My kit uses Bendix Ultimate pads, nice bite even when cold. Hell dusty though.
