Ferodo DS2500's

Unfortunately the calipers they are to fit won't be with me for weeks yet, cos Rally Design are out of stock and they're awaiting a delivery from the good ol US of A

Its a cruel world we live in
My brakes arrived today and I was all excited, like a little kid
Then I measured the pistons in the calipers and they've sent the wrong ones

Powerflow 2.25" twinbox currently. Possibly soon to be single box, to allow more room for the diffuser.
