great work dave... looks like they overhang on the discs a little... which may cause vibration when they wear down... But sounds like a massive improvement anyhow ![]() ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6NV Motorsport Automotive Performance Tuning 0121 448 7515 ECU Remapping/ DPF removal VAG/BMW Diag and Option Coding Peugeot Planet ECU coding/transponder programming etc www.nvmotorsport.com Facebook Page Project S6 |

But sounds like a massive improvement anyhow ![]() Yeah they do overhang a little (say 1.5mm) but the pad area on the disc is slightly more anyway than the wilwoods, i could :- A, leave as is and just file any lip off the pad as it develops, B, take calipers off and adaptors and machine 2mm off face of adaptor to take caliper 2mm in closer to hub, C, machine 2mm off pad material to top of pad ![]() seeing as the pads take literally a minute to take out i'll probably go for option A ![]() ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6™![]() |

Nice project : )from pics 9/10 looks like you could just cut away the metal under the central clip, but cutting them back to standard looks good. ________________________________________ Spanner Monkeys Monkey SpannerForum Search Clicky |

Not really kept up with this thread, the backplates where a piece of p*ss to cut so shaping the pads to the original wilwoods was dead easy, i reckon i could cut and shape a new set of pads and have them fitted in well under an hour, ![]() ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6™![]() |
