Hi All

After the trauma due to Creation sending wrong discs, too short bolts and horrendous wheel wobble the conversion is now done

I could have also ran without sapcers but i though she needed the beefy look

Thanks again to Rob, this time i junked the discs and spigot that was sent and purchased the ML55s from M-Tec and had the centre machined from 67mm to 68mm

Set of Rs4 hoses followed by a new fitting kit and some DS2500s

They look great

Took about 20 mins to get them al bled up and a test run.

No vibrations and a rock hard pedal, so here are before and after including my 12mm rear and 10mm front H&R spacers

BTW 55mm is best length bolt , i can now get these very cheap and they are 12.9 (50 too short, 60mm will catch)

Calipers were free so conversion was around £240, calipers generally go £250-£350), i sold my last set with new DS2500pads and hoses for £350

very nice jase, certainly worth the second attempt aswell.
The thing with the big brembo's is yes they have epic braking performance, but they also look fantastic on B7's , almost as if they were destined to be fitted....and what ever colour one chooses they are the dogs dingle dongles...
Nice work....
