Can you let us all know if the bigger brakes make any decernible different to steering and suspension feel? I don't know what the weight difference is (maybe you could weigh the items too and post up the comparative figures) but I'm just thinking of the increased unsprung weight and if it'll be at all noticeable.

I'm still researching & digging. Think a trip to wrexham motoring supplies is in order to see what wears big carriers & calipers.

Did it work?
Here's tonight's fun...
First, got the old caliper and disk off and drilled the stub axle to 14mm (carefully)...
New caliper next to old...
Fitted and bled...
Well hells-bells, I had time to do the other side!
A quick test drive found that they were a bit soft. I put this down to 3 possibilities...
1. They need another bleed (I did only do a quick bleed)
2. They need bedding - in (they only had about 1000 miles on them but even if I put the right pads on the right disks, the positioning won't be the same and they were a bit rusty.)
3. The bigger piston means more pedal travel might be needed.
I'm inclined to think it's a combination of 1 & 2 but I do know that when you hit the stop-pedal hard, you leave dental records in the steering wheel!
Result!
Wanna see my new bling?
sure?
Nom nom!

They look good, but I'd have painted the calipers a different colour so they stood out more.

I have got to get me some of these!! They look awesome & once theyre bedded in & bled properly i can see your front bumper doing endo's. Carriers can me made by my man in work so looking for some decent calipers now.
