isnt it exactly the same thing :huh: by the pic on tsr,s website it looks like painted g60 brakes with black diamond discs. basically i got ate power discs, greenstuff pads and g60 callipers and carriers for about £160, slightly better than £699 tsr want

Yes same set up, Only with tsr everythings new. just get g60 set up, zimmerman cross drills and some green stuff pads. If your using bbs ra's g60 calipers dont fit use 16v ones ( they touch inner rim) :sad:

ive read a few things about people using 16v callipers with g60 discs but i didnt think they would fit...the g60 callipers are wider to accomodate the wider disc so surely they are what is needed with this setup? also, if im not mistaken the piston on the g60 callipers is larger than on a 16v so therefore more powerful...i may have just put a load of crap tho  :undecided:

people who use the 16v brakes use partly worn pads so they fit in. :laugh:

What i had to do is have about 2mm taken of both pads for them to fit if using 16v calipers or yo can have 2mm taken of caliper slides, But found if you do that pads still didnt fit. Best if you have too, take 2mm of pads or as said before use some slightly worn ones.
