ah cool fair enough. They give the correct offset etc?

2 secs i will look out where i bought my (shock) corsa (shock) discs for my starlet to use with my mr2 calipers.

I think he had corolla/prius discs

Will look in to getting some bespoke ones made up, otherwise you can drill the ST185 discs.

Can anyone confirm that I will be able to use my existing braided lines with the ST185 calipers? They are Dave Burwash ones...

They were on ebay mate but didnt end early, they went the full time.

Got them for £26! Altho 20 postage. Still 46 quid all is a bargain in my book.

Do a trial fit Gee to see if the pipe fits. I hope they do, and should. The fitment will be pretty universal, just so long as the point of entry is not too different

Oh really? I don't remember! LOL

I am using a ET40 offset and the car is lowered. Hopefully it won't be a problem!

Gee, or anyone else, do you know how much the rebuild kits for these twin pots are? Probably a lot more then we paid for the calipers no doubt! haha

£133 for my calipers to fully refurbed and sprayed in standard black or £173 for polymer coating Teflon.

But to buy just the kits, wont be much if your going to do it yourself.
