This must be a scam? Brembo content

On further inspection in daylight they're different colours and on one the brembo decal has overspray on it.
The part no. on the box is a been I part no. but it's a reused box as there's an old postage label underneath the ups one. The bubble wrap is pretty poor tbh and the paint chips are in the box!
You'll have t excuse the whiskers, bugsy wanted in on the inspection!

If they're claiming damaged in transit, it might be. But I'm not sure if thats your problem or theirs tbh.

I don't thinks that taking this up with UPS is going to work out at all.
You already signed for the package which normally means that you accept it in the state that it arrived (no physical damage).
This will release UPS from all the responsibility for the package, making this claim pretty much useless from the start (imho).
These have clearly not been properly packaged on or before they came your way.
We have two big hints here :
1. the red paint chips in the package -> proof that they have not been packaged properly
2. the overspray on the decal -> proof of a "creative" (possible last minute) solution BEFORE they where put in the box (Jaszpol).
QC from Brembo is not great but these would not have left the factory looking like this!

If your referring to the normal 197/200 calipers, that has been asked dozens of times (give the search a go).
If you mean with the mk3 calipers, well im the only one running these. And even with 15mm spacers its very very close (my guess about 5mm of space).
And im using original (build for Renault) OZ F1 16" (ET 40).

Got the Sunflower out of storage yesterday and gave it a quick blast to test the calipers and pads.
The mk3 ones work like a charm, nearly take up the entire 300mm disc which the "normal" :tonguewink: 197/225 calipers do not.
Unused disc with 197/225 calipers ~ 12mm
Unused disc with mk3 275 calipers ~ 3mm
Very very pleased with the upgrade
To bad that im not going to be the only one running these though ...... kidding:weary::grin:

Just out of total curiosity could some one who has a 225/197 caliper to hand please measure the mounting points? Looking for the total depth that the mounting bolt runs through so the measurement would be from the two machined surfaces.
Thanks
Thanks
Mine have arrived, took around two weeks to get here. The packaging was a bit damaged, Postman Pat hasn't been gentle but the calipers look OK, some paint missing where it's chipped off, nothing major. Need to order some brackets and contact George off here for the price of discs, pads and braided lines :wink:
