silly question but you do have 16inch wheels fitted don't you?

Standard as far as I can tell - why ?

CS

cos the 312's don't fit under 15inch wheels :tongue:

As long as they're 16" & not the BBS RX II, then they should be fine. ;)

OK slowly getting there.

I found these today - http://tinyurl.com/bke88l

Are they ok?

So that's carriers and callipers and pads and disks on my other post.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Looking at the advert you still have to pay extra for painting. Why not just take the time to take yours off and clean and paint them yourself, as Steve_PD suggested. If you have the time you could hang them from the springs with wire amd paint them or spray them so there is no strain on the brake pipes

Thanks - I'm not a painter nor do I have the patience/time - Lazy I know, but I'd rather pay a bit extra for someone else to do it :)

Hi - Hope someone can assist.

I have found the pads, disks, calipers and carriers. Before i think that's all I need - what am I missing and what do i need to budget for?

Thanks,

If you're changing the calipers don't forget brake fluid

Cool so no spacers or anything - right them -  make it £230 all in (+ fitting and fluid etc)

Thanks guys,
