Looking forward to seeing them fitted and hearing your views on them! I fitted a similar set to my R33 GTR about 10 years ago, 6 pots with 356mm discs, they were so amazing!!! I hope you have good tyres! And enjoy the taste of leather from your steering wheel which will be in your mouth a lot now! ha ha!

And they are on

Fitting went well , easily clear the wheels with 15mm spacers ( as we new thanks to mike)

Only driven back home so not bedded them in yet ,but initial thoughts are great peddle feel and already have more bite than standard . Got a lot of brake dust off them but i guess thats to be expected with new discs and pads .

Also changed the rear pads to ds2500's and fresh 600 brake fluid .

As always a great job done by tgm

I'll bed them in and report back

1/2 a kilo unsprung weight saving is equivalent to 2KG overall unless I am mistaken.
When I changed to PF 2 piece discs (std calipers) I also saved 1/2 kilo

About time ! Now we just need to see it on track, or you're just another "all the gear, no idea" LOL.
