    I hope so. If they arrive early enough today (Thurs) I may just have time to fit them.

    Any chance of seeing if my wheels are compatible at some point?

    If I have them fitted then you'd be very welcome to try a wheel on, as it were!

    Fitted my rear black diamond combi discs and pads, iv only done about 150 miles on it, so its still bedding in but so far im very happy. My old discs were a bit KO, so I guess I was always going to notice a good change, but its good to finally get grid of that standard soft sponge like brake feeling!

    Received the Brake kit and now fitted, although not actually driven the car yet. If they work as well as they look I shall be most impressed. They look really well made and the kit is very complete.

    Thumbs up

    I've recently put a set of Rossini discs on the front of my 2001 V6 Sport estate and so far have been very pleased with their performance. Notable improvement in pulling power even with the standard single piston calipers - just in case you're still thinking
