front calipers are the same as what you have so don't waste any effort getting them done unless you want them perfect  :wink:

on a side note, I hate you :grin:

Hahaha. Bargains turn up, just gotta wait for them.

What do I do just change the carries I got so I can run the 312mm discs ? 

Do they make a big difference ?
