Possibly yea just to note my inner pads wore more than the outer pads
That said I’m sure they wouldn’t fit pads Nearly worn out .
There really simple to fit replace so there can’t be an error there
.

So did the calipers fit direct or is there a carrier ?

Direct fit.
I'll get car out again sat morning and have closer look. I thought wheel bolts when I was driving home......that would be an easy fix anyway!

Im sure its not the same but when we went out for a drive there was a knock when he braked but he thought it to be a top mount or something else.

New topmounts on mine so I doubt it's that. More likely pads then...... I'll let bank balance recover then maybe swap them over

So finally got round to fitting new pads today..... which solved the knocking problem. All good now. These really are good brakes!

Really nice mate. Have you made up custom adapters for this? Are those handbrake calipers part of the set or are they off something like an R8? Planning on painting those calipers?

Hi!
I have made the brackets myself and the handbrake calipers is of an Ferrari F360.
I am sending the calipers to paint next week!

Great stuff. I'm not sure of any others around at the moment with ceramics on all corners.

I have heard (not seen) about one another with R8 rear ceramics (356mm) in england. MRC could be involved there...
But no one with 370mm ceramics in the rear..!
Will match the 400mm up front then!
