After slaving away for a good few nights after work to strip the paint and repaint my new Brembos I fitted them this weekend. The impovement in braking performance really is as good as reported and more than worth the effort. I am lucky in not having any of the squealing problems but the space between the calipers and the mags are so small I do not think any light will shine through! Oh well, a good reason to get new mags! I will fit the rears as soon as I can locate evo discs.

Yeah those advanti wheels are really nice! Trying to find 17x7 wheels that fit over brembo's is quite difficult too, 17x8's might be on the cards for you William.

Yes, I think I will have to go to 17x8's. GLY, I will be too embarassed to be seen with chromies!! - too old and humble! I really did like the Advanti's but I like the Brembos more, so new wheels it will have to be. I will put the Advanti's on TM later in the week.

Brad, how much do you want for the EVO 7's - they do look good on the Leggie

William, I bought them for $500 and got the lip around the outside all refurbished so they look a lot better than before, but I do want to get rid of them, so how does $500 sound :) They aren't in perfect condition, there are a few scratches on them, but they are fairly good overall.

Just remember they will rub on the back if you fill up the car with people or luggage unless you get the guards rolled.
