I really really must be mad

 

I just couldnt resist them

 

Hmmm new 6 pot greddy brakes with 355mm discs, endless pads

 

 

 

God i would be in trouble if the wife knew :rofl:

 

Mike

very nice

did you get front and rear? and where did you get them from? Will be interested to know how they compare to the AP setup.

well apparently the AP calipers and greddy/grex ones are about as good as each other and about the best you can get!! but the greddy discs are better than the AP ones, plus there a little bigger ;) and the greddy rears are easier to get hold of so will be putting the rears on over the winter :cool:

That's why I abandoned the brake setup I went for, 355mm discs cost a fortune compared with single piece discs.

She will! :shock: .....soon.. :p ... unless you paypal me NOW! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

funny thing is the 355mm discs are nearly half the price of the 343mm discs as alot of kits come with 355mm so there more available :)

 

the other way i looked at it is its cost me £400 on top of selling my brake kit to get brand new calipers, brand new pads and brand new discs now when you consider that decent new pads are over £200 and as you say new discs are about £300 each for the AP ones so the silly thing is its cheaper for me to do that rather than me replace the stuff i have already :cool:

i can just see it when i get it back on the road "i'm sure your brakes were black??"

 

"Naaa you stupid bint they were always gold!! jesus women"

 

:rofl: :rofl:

And these ones will fit under 18" rims? :p

 

Anyway, very nice :cool:

You don't really want them or need them but I do so how about passing them my way LOL

not wishing to clutter you're other threads, where are these catching on the wheel?

yep :( they clear the offset fine but because the alloys have a polished lip it means they have a slightly smaller inside diameter so i'm gonna have to go for some wheels which have no lip and they then should fit!! fingers crossed :smash: dont get me wrong they dont catch by much, poss need about 2mm but i dont want to space them out any further (10mm at the mo)

 

just more hastle as usual lol
