I had these brakes fitted today by Ian at Godspeed. Dedicated man as he worked Sunday to fit them for me. Absolute top bloke, cant thank him enough. Very very happy with them.

Specification includes:

335mm Discs with Aluminium bells.

Alcon (prodrive) 1 Piece forged Aluminium calipers (Which came off Peter Solbergs WRC car) . Titanium caliper pistons. They weigh next to nothing.

Just fitted:



Some more:



Close up:



Ready to go, now where did we put the locking wheel nut cap?



Hope you like them as much as i do!

Thanks again Ian, you've been a star!

Cheers

Yep... were in the brakes section for a while with not much interest (front and back sets). Couldn't understand why as they were an absolute bargain but i'd just got Ian's 335mm kit so couldn't justify the cost .

They look excellent mate

Mmmm , they look nice

Yes they were put on here just before christmas and had no interest in them ,

The calipers were bought from the Prodrive sale recently and I have reconditioned them spraying them a titainium colour , I think they look absolutely gorgeous , but I would say that

The calipers are a work of art , they are a one piece billet monoblock caliper with titainium pistons

Gav paid £750 for the full kit with ferodo DS2500 pads which is a bargain , and as he has been customer for quite some time I even fitted them for free , on a sunday too , should have been saturday but was suffering from the mother of all hangovers ..but the hair of the dog on saturday night sorted that out

Now Gav , dont you dare get them dirty...

Cheers Ian

They are far from ' normal Alcons ' , the calipers are off a WRC subaru , everything else has been made by me , Godspeed discs and bells , The alcon discs are a one piece disc , ours are 2 piece.

Cheers Ian
