@hopgop1 did you order the febi one or a different one?

The one odd caliper wasn't doing it for me. Stripped Repainted And with all that, I'm pleased to say the knocking has gone! Cheap caliper was at fault all along. It's driving so good now. Really pleased with where it is currently. To do list: Oil & Filter Plugs Gearbox oil Front...

Now with Bilstein B14's

Great updates. I'm looking for a new exhaust as I find the KTEC Resonated stealth a bit droney. Love the mic drop of the K swap.

Took it for a slightly longer drive today, rather than up and down my street. Bilsteins have really impressed me. Smoothed out the crashy ride. It's firm but not overly. Considering the fitment is how they came out the box (measured to check the fronts and rear were equal to each corner)...

I'd only have gone back to page 2 myself to remind myself what was used and there's more images there which you might find useful too. 👍

Page 2. Full undersealed and input the full details of the products ueed there. I can't actually recall off the top of my head. If you go back, you'll have more images and the list of products etc.

Fitted a caliper I bought of @SKINTasPER earlier in the week. They ideally need a rebuild but I needed to see if I could solved the knock from the rear passenger caliper that's been haunting me for weeks now. Yes it's red and will be getting painted. Buttoned everything up and off we went...

Ordered it from ECP from memory. Does anyone know the part number for a rear caliper for a 172 Cup? Other news I fitted the front coilovers, realised before I fit them I needed the thin 17mm nut and spacer from the original suspension. I noticed through searching on CS.net, I'd fitted the...

Is this DMS outside of Newport, South Wales? Great thread @plenty any more recent updates in 5 years?

Pm'd

Assume they're OK to use?

Top mounts have arrived. Order? There's no spacer nut that I've read on other threads?

Bought two genuine rear calipers off @SKINTasPER once they're here will get them built up. In the mean time I made a start on getting the coilovers fitted. Front shock and a crusty cooksport spring. Fresh Bilstein I'll be fitting stock top mounts as I plan to keep this as a road car and...

Alright, you've won CS.net. Wings look great, really pulled them off. Finally a splitter too. 😅

Looking good man. Can't answer your questions, sorry.

We're all waiting for this one. Especially seeing it with a splitter! 😅 Awesome job as always.

10/10 effort.

And the "Genuine OEM rebuilt caliper" turned out to be a cheap knock off from China, so back that goes. Where can I get a (decent) genuine caliper?

Mystery solved.

Thanks for the speedy reply Gents, who says forums are dead?! Love CS.net because of stuff like this. I did search on here before asking, but couldn't find anything. Will fit as per @MrBlonde suggestion. Don't say that...

In other news and prior to the knock ever being a thing, I ordered some coilovers. Thought I'd crack on fitting this this evening starting with the rear as the wheels are off and.... first hurdle. What order does the rear top mount go on? This is what I thought: But the kit came with...

Surprisingly difficult to find a decent OEM caliper but I have ordered a rebuilt one. I did take off the caliper and refit to make sure it's not user error on my part but it does seem the sliders have minor lateral play. I say minor but this video does make it look bad, which it is. Lesson...

Don't know how I haven't seen this soon. Great thread and alot of this is like deja vu with my Cup.

Yeah there is. It's a repo from ECP from memory. I'm so f**king happy I've found it. This is 100% the cause of the knock (hopefully).

I secured the bias valve up with cable ties and it did sweet FA. Spurred in my the advice above from all especially @Brigsy I started snooping at the rear calipers. Now, I have check these and the bolts were tight. However: This is a reproduction caliper as the original was leaking...

As this seems to be the 'most recently active' compensator thread. I seem to have a knock coming from mine when lightly pressing the brake pedal when approaching a junction etc. How to I solve this as it sounds terrible from inside the cabin. Although not ideal, I guess cable tying it up...

Noise was there and I assumed bearings so I replaced the discs and bearings. It's still there. Pads look to be secured and giving the a tap (hand brake off) they're snug. I'm positive it's the bias valve.

I need a way to stop the knocking on part braking. It sounds awful from inside the car.
