      Still got this saga going at the min, ive had the carriers re made now because they made the original ones as per the original AP kit for 28mm discs and mine are 32mm. So they sent those thru but forgot to send me my bells back and the new bolts to fix them to the discs. Drove a 150 mile round trip to get them today because they said they had them there and i tried to fit them yesterday before realising bits were still missing, anyway I got there and they could only find one bell I have 90% of the kit now at last but still missing one bell which they are making as we speak and it is getting anodised tonight then they will deliver to me in the morning when I can finally get on and fit the brakes!!!

            Had the new carrier delivered this morning by bob from bg developments at 10am so I was a very happy chap. Then he gave me a hand making sure they fit on the one side, which was very much appreciated although it taken a long time to get sorted im just glad they do fit on the car. Half way thru now got the one side fitted with new braided hoses. They arent perfect though since they can catch on the metal a bit so I have used a bit of fuel hose on the brakcet for the old hoses and then cable tied the new pipe to it. Just got the other side to fit now so hoepfully I can get home tonight!

                  Its a bit late I know but ive managed to get a few pictures now.

                  Got the AP's fitted on the fronts and EBC Turbo Groove with red stuffs on the back.

                  It still hasnt solved the problem that ive had though, prior to installing the new brakes so I need to investigate suspension alignment, bushes, top mounts and double check shock setting because the car pulls to the right under heavy breaking sometimes. Not all of the time though.

                    And from a distance they look quite stealthy I think

                            def no chance of getting them under a standard wheel. They seem to give decent enough clearance on 17's though had a custom setup made with 32mm thick discs instead of the standard ap kits 28mm disc so will see what they are like once I get it on the track

                              Had a few probs with vibration the last couple of weeks and I think i have tracked down the problem to a fault ferodo pad. Spoke to BG developments who will get a new set out to me asap so Im happy.

                              Will post a pic of it up later on.
