Brand new calipers , pads and disks.

Very impressed with them they may cause whiplash in emergencys I feel

If your going to do this brake swap I highly highly recomend using the Gunson's Brake Bleed Kit from Halfords, had the brakes bled in 10 mins , quality piece of kit

Also since the calipers are brand new and all shiny I don't know whether to paint them ?

Ask Broster, I'm sure he took some pictures of my calipers after they'd been zinc coated. I can't find them in his gallery though, he may not have uploaded them.

Ive used wonder wheels today on them and theyve gone all silver and shiny.

Needed to use 3mm spacers , they were rubbing very slightly.
