312mm Brakes now on!

Mossman · 07-02-2008, 21:00

Firstly a few thanks:

Steve (Golf Turbo for sourcing them), Steve (Young Syd) for doing an amazing job on the painting and preparing them so well for going on, and lastly to Jabbasport for fitting them today.

Having only driven 90 miles since having them on, I cannot give exhaustive commentary, but they really are MILES better than the standard ones. Immediate bite and massive stopping power

Highly recommended!

ric04vrs · 07-02-2008, 21:29

painted grey ?

markyvrs · 07-02-2008, 21:40

I do believe it's in black and white

i did think that at first

clidgevrs · 07-02-2008, 21:59

lucky git ha ha never knew they atually fitted behind standard wheels ha ha

Mossman · 07-02-2008, 22:43

For the photographically challenged

VeeKar · 07-02-2008, 23:03

Looking good

I got some (grey ones) in a box downstairs hope they look as good as that when I get 'em on

jasc1988 · 07-02-2008, 23:45

how much did jabbasport charge to fit??

Basil · 08-02-2008, 06:01

once they're bedded in - you can try doing "motorbike stoppies", lol.

What brake pads are you running?

Cheers
Bas

Mossman · 08-02-2008, 09:04

Just the ones that came with the kit Basil - they seem more than adequate for the moment!

youngsyd · 08-02-2008, 11:48

Glad your enjoying them mate.

Ill get the rears painted to match 100%soon!

skudmissile · 08-02-2008, 16:59

^^^ behind white wheels

312's look ace behind the standard wheels

jasc1988 · 08-02-2008, 17:05

I wouldnt like the idea of having 312's behind the standard 16's. for two points really

1- arent there heating up / cooling down issues with having brakes so near to the alloy??
2- Its a bitch to clean the alloys

Also did you install the longer brake hoses??

youngsyd · 08-02-2008, 17:07

Yes they had longer hoses...

Thats why you take wheels off to clean them Jasc!

akz · 08-02-2008, 17:29

am definately wanting a set of these!!

HAHAH.

I thought you wanted your car to be detailed!

Part timer, crack on with taking them off!

Stevoraith · 08-02-2008, 18:17

Look great behind the standard wheels

Just gave mine the second coat of paint this afternoon, and will hopefully have time to fit them a week on Monday. Can't wait, even though I never actually get to drive the Fabia!

oilburninnut · 08-02-2008, 19:06

looking good,no need for longer brake hoses tho

Mossman · 08-02-2008, 19:13

Thanks for all the kind comments guys!

Just finished cleaning the car (4 hours so not bad)

Let the Zymol Destiny cure, a quick spray of Zymol Field Glaze and ready to take on all comers tomorrow!

Pics of detailing process to come later!

Cheers!

Jon

correct

and no overheating problems when fitted inside my standard wheels , DS2500 pads fitted

ryand · 08-02-2008, 21:52

so what VAG cars other than TT can these come from as a donor or can they be bought as a kit from somewhere?

Must admit they do look tight behind standard 16s.

oilburninnut · 08-02-2008, 22:02

audi s3,golf mk4 gti,mk 1 octy vrs,thats off the top of my head

TDi Vrs · 08-02-2008, 22:05
