Do you need to fit new lines or do originals fit (when the caliper is slightly spaced out for bigger discs).

Just looked on JHMs website - looks like original hoses will reach no probs.

So all depends on what discount for bulk buy?? And postage costs.

No you can use normal lines I just think upgrading is a good idea for the sake of 80 quid or whatever a set of ss lines cost they've made a difference on mine

Just had the fluid changed so would wait till the next fluid change prior putting on lines - hence the query. Cheers for info.

Hi Juice,

Interested. Had already looked at the JHM ones but was swaying towards Phaeton discs but if a GB drops the price a tad and postage is better, I'm all for it. Ideally prefer the bigger 380 items.

Whats the deal with postage? Send as bulk or send in twos and threes to various locations. As your aware, I'm central Scotland but for the sake of a around a tenner, don't mind getting them posted up.

See there is also two colours for the bolts you get with the discs - silver or black. Prefer the black I think.

Anyway, once the costs are finalised - can give defo answer (as will a few others). FYI Phaeton ones are 350 quid a set.

650 USD for the 380mm disc is 400 quid so with GB discount and possibly reduction on postage - shouldn't work out that much more than Phaeton ones (hopefully).

I just wish someone in the UK stocked them.

troubl is if someone did stock them in the uk they would not be around the 400 more like 100 quid less than oem, you watch it will happen.

very interested however in the 380s but would like a final total

I looked into the JHM brakes a while back, I decided the 380 would only make a few percentage of difference + probably not fit under my winter wheels. In the end I gave up as shiping/excess baggage + VAT was making them very expensive.

I would be interested in sharing a postage saving with a few others, I could also act as a distribution point and send them all out via TNT if would help - I think we pay less than 10 for 20kg but can check on Monday. We also have shippers in/out every day so could handle any VAT payments & then recover them with the shipping.

Would be after a set of std size front discs & std size rears for the shipping calculation so would have to pay 2 "shares".
