Hi Renate
Correct me if im wrong and I may be but if you have a problem with the
calipers do you not just get new pistons (dont know what they are really
called. Is this not the case because the calipers are mainly just the one
piece of metal with the pistons in there to push against the pads. Geese
that is a lot of money to spend for those little things. You have the 91,
what month was it made, have you ever thought of any other braking mods or
things for better braking etc. I am looking at new something or other for
mine because I feel a little tiny catch when I nearly come to a stop which
gives me the idea that I may have a bump or something on one or more of my
discs. I would reakon that my bits for the brakes are there from the time
zero if all the other bits are any thing to go by but ?500 for two WOW O
WOW. I have heard that it is possible to get more braking power from better
rotors and ceramic pads but I would like to have more surface area of pad at
rotor, at learst that was the idea to maybe get new bigger calipers and new
better rotors and pads but if the ?500 is for calipers only, I think ill do
something else. Do you know of any places in the UK that do slotted rotors.
I found a place in AUS DBA rotors that are supossed to be very good buy they
weight 25 lbs each and as such I can only not think about the shipping.
Congrats on the new job wish you all the very best.
