^ thanks mate. They all seem fine condition wise but I'll admit I'm not too clued up on how they look. I'll be replacing the rear discs at it's service in April next year, so I think I'll get some uprated rear pads aswell, if these ones arent screwed already.

Still happening, I took the rears apart, pads out and cleaned, discs checked, i took the surface rust off the edges, then with a file just knocked the sharp off the lips. The lips were pretty small though, and the discs looked in decent condition :S In reverse when braking it sounded a bit...

~All sorted and taken for a quick spin, feels fine :) Retaining screws came out easily, wernt even in what I would call tight! Thanks to Gray for the help though, though i would have to leave it!

Nah just the fronts for now mate. Thanks for the help Gray. I've spoke to my mate about the susp setting and he says he'll let me know when hes got some free time. Really sorry I havent got in touch, my memory is shite.

Is it as simple as I'm expecting? Caliper off and out the way, old disc off, new disc on? Do I need to cipper slip the rear of the disc a bit on the mating face?

Thing is with these, when the bumpers are resprayed these are hardly ever replaced by body shops. So could be a sign with these missing that the car has been crashed. When looking for my car I saw 1 without these, put me off straight away.

Why can people not read on this forum?! He said in the first post he knew about machining them! Should look good mate, get some pics up once they are on, getting them resprayed in a different colour or just leaving as they are? What colour is your car?

I bought the ktec ones recently, getting them fitted soon. Everywhere else had to get them made specially, taking upto 2 weeks, Ktec sent them the same day and I got them the following morning. Depends how soon you want them I guess, but would 100% recomend k-tec.

The bearing goes on last mate, the metal plate goes directly on top of the spring. Where abouts are you, im sure someone local will offer to help, if you're near derby i can give you a hand

Get plenty of pics up mate, i'm considering this too.

Will do mate. What colours do people think? I like matt black, but maybe gloss? Satin?

There a bit of grinding when i brake coming from the rear, only does it from about 5 - 0 mph, so gonna get the brakes to bits and see whats wrong. I'm hoping its just something stuck between the pad and disc.

Was gonna go lower and sort out the rear grinding, and fit my new front discs, but the rain has come so stuff it, might get round to it tomorrow. Next plan is get the wheels shot blasted clean then do a proper refurb on them and get them looking mint.

^ bought them for the Lupo after 2 days of ownership, lasted a bit longer for this one! It's pretty clean at the minute, pic shows nowhere near how caked it is :D Late night rally stages are awesome!

My mate lives in Hinkley and has seen this about, always says how it looks so much better than mine :( Awesome car though, how much?

Mine is terrible in the cold/wet now mate, suppose Paradas arent rated for it but recently it's been like driving on oil, had it spinning into 4th yesterday morning!

Ad said first class recorded delivery, usually 1-2 working days. Took 6 days for the item to be sent to me. I'm not replying anymore anyways, some people obviously get concerned too easily.

My reply wasn't meany for you mate, was for the post above you, you got in just as i pressed reply i think, sorry. I see your point, but most people would get a quote for postage, then maybe add a bit more on, but £10 seems a lot. If I got them next day then fair enough, but 6 days after the...

^ ??

without bothering to read my original post, I asked if it was possible to do. i take it you regularly rip people off on postage for items then, considering the defence you are putting up.

Best colour, closely followed by Jr/Dash's. When I buy a V6 I want one of those or dash's if he's selling up at the time :D

^ I was close to getting them instead of you Tigger I think!! I don't really need new top mounts, the std ones are still in decent condition, just thought with seeing them mentioned a few times I'd do some research into them. Might be a possible mod for the future I guess. Thanks for all the...

^ hardly taking the piss, it took him 5 days to send the item out, so hardly pushed himself, plus 90% of people will go within a few miles of a post office at least once a week. Why do people seem to get so offended at the fact I thought the postage was unfair. Yes I knew the price and was...

Thanks for the comments :D

Each side?

Not noticed it today, I'm guessing it was something stuck, but I'll check them all over Friday or at the weekend. Luke, a crack in the std discs?

I'm probably a bit better than McCrae was to be honest.... The point is to get good really, I reckon I'm pretty good on the back roads but I know deep down I'm not! Just got carried away with things, although the price of everything I've done to the car to date is still less than what a new...

Anyone know a rough price of the Mark Fish ones, I don't want to ring up and ask loads of questions etc but then not buy them due to price.
