Well final got the brakes fitted. Due to the riots the post office had been closed so my little bro couldn't go collect them till friday.
My little bros a mechanic so was fitting them for me when when I got home he only had one side done. My drivers side caliper was being a right pain but it final came free and we managed to get everything fitted but naw it was late and my bro had to go out the only thing left to do was bleed all four corners. Even I can do that so me and my pal Liam stayed to get them bleed up got 3 done then got to the drivers side front and the bleed nipple snapped as soon as tried to loosen it. A lot of F-ing and blinding followed.
While we are standing there looking at wounded what to do a bloke walks over on his way back from the pub and starts chatting about the car we tell him what we've just done and it turns out he works at an engineering company. Saturday morning the caliper is off and down at his work where he drilled it out and re seats the new bleed nipple as the only one the local motor factors had was slightly different. What a top bloke and an absolute life saver caliper is now back on the car and all working fine.
As for the new discs on comparison to the ebc discs they seem very similar slight less drilled groves but they work fine managed to get them bed in yesterday and gave them a little abuse and all is good.
As I said before if they work as well but only last half as long as the ebc's then I'll be very happy as they where only about £70.
Ill keep you's posted on how they carry on to perform gonna be doing a lot of miles over the next week so the get a good test but so fair I can recommend brake depot if you are on a tight budget.
