    What ET are those wheels? Dont want to run spacers?

    I have a set of uprated rotors, stock calipers and Ferodo DS2500 pads on my car and that combo works great already.

    Didnt want to have to worry about the calipers hitting my wheels so went that option.

      Kangfu, my OZ's are 17x8 ET35. I'm not too keen on running spacers as I already rub a little. When I pull into the office, on full lock turning right, I have a decline into the parking bay, and I have worn away a little of the paint on the fender, LOL.

      I would MAYBE be able to run 5mm spacers up front, but would definitely have to remove my arch liners, which I'm not keen on doing until I've done my FMIC.

      The biggest problem with the OZ's, is that the "hub mating face" is large and when I used the ECS big brake template, the angle between the centre bore and the edge of the caliper, clashed. But I was thinking now, that angle is not exactly going to be there when the caliper is in place. I need to do a little more in terms of test fitting, but I might be able to get a set of 4pots under the OZ's without spacers. The clearance between the face of the caliper and the rear of the spoke, were mighty close (~1mm) using their template. I'll try source a few templates and see what's possible.

      I did plan to purchase a set of Seat Sport AP Racing 4pots from a chap in the Northern Cape, but he didn't answer questions on condition and without someone being able to go check them, it became a PITA, so I left it for a while.

      If I can't come right, I will look at moving to a 312mm setup with slotted rotors.

          Thank you Geoff. I'm hoping that 2011 will be a good year for Sooty & I.

            Two mates I hadn't seen in quite some time were keen on hearing what the mufflerectomy is all about. This is an impromptu video that was taken - I only realised one had been taken once I received the email with attachment. Excuse the chit chat, I was explaining the WMI controller which sits just below my radio.

            Running full interior, decat & mufflerectomy.

                      Nope. Although, it has been on the list of things to do for the past 2 years now, but this was needed first. I visited this idea about 14months ago and we just had to jump when the opportunity came.

                          Bwahaha, I don't pull fong kong moves like that. There is most certainly a very special piece inside.
