In the search for better handling I sugested a reduction in unsprung weight, a reduction in the size of the front brake set up on S2Avant's car.............

Hopefully this will balance it out better for combe. I always felt that perhaps my brake fetish had gone a bit far
Of course it does mean my master cylinder will be safe at last

I can't believe you have done this!
That caliper looks tiny. Are you sure you haven't gone too far the wrong way?
At least you have got rid of that 'bracket on a bracket'

The disc is till pretty big at 330 x 22mm. I'm sure it will be fine.

Just a tiny bit bigger.Sad way to get painted caliper frames Slightly re-engineered to move the wheel spacer & package it all a little neater.Not the usual "pads are getting low lets go bigger"excuse !!! More pics to follow...keep you on your toes.

I think we'd prefer the terms pioneering or innovative but mad also covers it
They are from Autospeed Performance in the states. I don't think they make them anymore as I can't see them on their new website. I got them a while back when I did a deal for the guy who owns it. Here is their old page with some pics on it.
