You can't beat some sexy red calipers behind a nice wheel

Interesting to hear the porschecalipers.co.uk rear bracket works, turns out my rears are 1.5mm out with regards to centralising the caliper over the disc and need 3mm extra height for the calipers to sit off of the disc rim I may just buy the porschecalipers ones instead of all the faffing of machining and spacers

Certain brackets still require the mounting 'pads' on the caliper to have 5mm or so to be machined off to bring the caliper down towards the hub..... god knows why it's easy enough make a bracket without doing this!

Even though I said id keep her standard!

I then decided to do the rears at the same time so purchased rear brackets from porschecalipers, they were excellent.

I also used HEL hoses and ATE blue fluid.

the brakes are a world apart from the oem crap :
It's a slippery slope Did you remember to flip & swap your rear callipers "Left to Right" to avoid uneven pad wear ?

Smallest piston should be at the bottom. Chances are the rears will be ipside down. You flip them and swap the bleed nipples and link pipes end for end
