Hi all

I am going to be running 13s so looking at upgrading to the metro brakes as they appear to be a worthwhile upgrade that isn't a stupid price.

If anyone can help then that'll be perfect.

Thanks

Eddie

I think John has a set. Drop him a PM. I can turn the lugs of the flanges if you need that doing.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Thanks

I have been doing some more research on this and different people have different opinions.

It got me thinking that would I be better off rebuild my existing calipers and getting some uprated disks and pads? The only problem is I have no idea what brakes I have at the moment (it's a 96 Mayfair SPI).

you'll have 8.4" disc brakes more than adequate in more situations.

I'll buy the kit then from MiniSport, unless someone knows of a reason not too.

I assume that these are single pot and not 2 or 4 pot?

Do you know everything John?

Final question, how many bridge seals would I need per caliper?
