Nanglebadger Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 the only thing WeeJohn had to change on mine was the carrier.the calipers themselves were grand, just the carriers had to be changed from late-spec EP91 carriers to GT carriers.Hybrid brakes FTW! lol!Phil.

JackStar Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I had this same prblem on my 'R' reg sportif, all i had to change was the carriers, because the glanza discs were a little biggger.Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 My SR doesn't have V brakes on it, don't think any of the UK spec cars did come with the bigger brakesDamien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I did Craigs brakes for him and i can defo say the calipers SR-Vspec wer differant in both apearance and function, the sliders on the SR calipers would not slide out as far and they were physically smaller by a small amount Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Just to give you an idea, the glanza discs are around 256x22mm as for my SR and other UK spec cars being 238x18mm. Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
