do you have any problems with the calipers fouling the inner hub of the wheel?
Mine are catching, spacers would be the obvious answer but i dont think there is enough clearence in the arch to space them out

I had turbo calipers and was ok. But when I put 4 pots on I had to space them. Dont worry about using spacers, its not the horror story people say!

YES i had this problem, just grind some material off the caliper, i think alot of people have had the same problem with 2litre brakes and speedlines.
If im right in saying, when you put new pads on, the sliding part of the caliper will be even closer to your alloy, so make sure u take enough off and bobs your uncle!
