it's back
i didn't even get chance to get them warmed up as they obviously need bedding in. but the imrovement so far over the 2 pots is amazing.
thanks to Kev at Bennetts BMW Specialists for the work.
the look pretty cool behind the pro drive replicas too. although still a little small, even at 295mm and only 17" wheels.

If you think yours still look a little small.Look how tiny my OE discs looked when I first put the 18"s on.

I sold my OE 17's & the OE 4 pots with discs to offset some of the cost , what price quality eh?
I do like the 7 spokes & got these while I get the PFF7s refurbed.

my sti 4pots and small 295mm discs made a huge difference so i can't imagine the difference these must give over the 2 pots.
