Mine arrived today in the post :dance: :dance:

 

Il be fitting it tomorrow, but i was wondering if anyone had got a link to a website with a guide i could follow ?

 

Smithy mentioned it, but id really like to get on a fit it tomorrow, so guessing he wont have chance to get back to me until at least monday now.

 

Any advice as ive not swapped discs/pads before? Cheers all

Nice one bud, glad your please with them :)

Mate, just one question, did you torque everything up? I dont have a torque rench and was wondering if its worth getting me one and following all these numbers in the guides?

Also, Mike does the shim and paste kit

No i dont have a torque wrench, but i do have a big fookin bar which is about a foot long :D

LOL, glad to see its not just me with the big bar/ tight as fook approach!

pretty much mate. :D You'll get a feel for how tight they should be when you take em off.

On a seperate note, i noticed you ordered one of the brake master cylinder braces. Did you notice much difference to the feel? I understand it wont improve braking but better feel is a good start.

Cant comment on that because i never tried the brakes before i fitted it. All i know is that the brakes on the Z now feel similar to the brakes on my Astra Coupe which I think are damn good :D

 

Maybe someone else has fitted just the brace?

Well worth it, fitted mine and lost all mushy feeling, now all I need is brakes without warped disks :wack:

Dont suppose you fancy buying my old discs do you?ebc drilled and grooved from the front?

 

Good news about the brace, i just need to find the £40 then

Thanks Pete (turboz) you beat me to the link for him, doh too many things and not enough time :)
