Instead of reinventing the wheel *ahem*, why don't you just use the stuff Marcus had developed? http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20766

Both sizes are 8 pots
£1050 for 330mm
£1300 for 356mm

Everywhere else is about £1500 for 330mm

All you need Stu is blembo's.... cheap brake pads [ £25 ] & press the pedal harder !! :happy: :happy:
& if anyone wants to disagree..... fire away. /rally

i disagree I'm pre face lift so harder too swap and wheels are somewhat short of clearance 25mm ( where's that sulking smiley)

If you've still got 16's on, then thats a prob. as for carriers ?? has Mo got any ?? :thinking:

no 16's here I have got 18's on mine the inner is really weird shape./Grrr
If the wheels where **** i would not hesitate swapping everything over.
I can clear the KAD 330 setup with about 5mm clearance if I go bigger :pimp2: I have even more clearance

IMO - go for the KAD's if you can stretch to the little extra over the D2's (you normally get what you pay for).

KAD's are proven by multiple track abusers on this forum (me, Simon and Pete), whereas I know there is a guy on the Supra forum (very similar weighted car to the Leggie) and he is having problems with his new D2's.

Don't be swayed by the fact they have more pots - the D2 do look a little lightweight in construction (let alone that silly pinky colour) and that can only lead to more distortion from the tremendous heat you will generate if intending to track.

It's not an easy decision going for the big upgrade, but in my experience the most satisfying and effective mod you can make to your car.

Good luck !
