Hi Si

Know a bloke who was asking a few weeks ago.

Got a pic of the subject parts you can email me so I can pass on?

Presumably, an upgrade to 300s or similar?

I upgraded my fronts to 300mm and moved the 260mm to the back. After fiddling with that set up for about 10 months, I went back to the stock setup with the smaller brakes on the rear. I could never get the right feel out of the car and the front brakes were so big they kept locking even with many adjustments to the brake bias.

Not sure if it was just my set up or what the problem was. Maybe the master cylinders weren't matched up with the bigger brakes. In any event, I hope this helps and wish you the best with getting a setup that fits you.
