So your calipers would have been machined like this to fit the brackets. Every other 280 kit the caliper mounting face is just machined down by 5mm but now you've not got much flat face to bolt the 300 brackets to. This is the face -5mm. And the bracket on. And these are brackets for 300mm...

Is it this kit? https://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/brembo-280mm-brake-bracket-kit.html

Did pms machine the calipers for you? Iirc they machine a counterbore in the caliper, how much flat mounting face is left after that? Pms we're the only ones making the 280 brackets like that so any 300 bracket you find won't sit in the counterbores and you may have minimal face to face seating.

I am. But my creaking happens when I steer and the struts don't rotate so it can't be the top mounts. God I hate cars 😡.

Also brand spanking new with the BC coilovers. I'm going to have to investigate though because it's getting on my nerves now 😖.

I've got something you can swivel on.

Same garage that did the other side when I got the car.

Better not be the brand new one that's just been fitted. ☹️

Someone suggested the creak could be the steering rack bush needing some grease. With the suspension on its several swear words more difficult to remove the rack boot to get at the bush. I got it done eventually and all seemed well, for a day or two and then the creak returned. So the clio was...

Oh I dunno about that. It's got a side exit exhaust and look how much down force that wing makes when it's stood still! It's got to have a V8 in the middle and be an absolute track weapon.

Which one do you have?

I spotted one a couple of weeks back and was equally surprised at how s**t it looked. Not much different to most other big suv's theses days really.

If you take the spacers off you'll have no issues at all, except for needing shorter wheel bolts maybe. And then preferring the car on the trophy Turini's and never going back 😂👍.

Trio of M2's.

I'm going to have to have an Alpine some day. Glad to hear you're still smitten with LBR too Andy, fetch it to csf and do some laps in it next year 👍.
