Default 2 pots gone,brake upgrade done

Had some spare time today off work,so decided to fit the 4 pot calipers and black diamond grooved and drilled discs ive aquired over the last week or so,car is a my00 jap import wagon,which strangly came with the dreaded 2 pots as standard

original 2 pot brake set up as it left japan



calipers painted smooth hamerite red and white,disc centers painted black to try to stop the rusting that my original discs had



all back together and done......

Really nice upgrade!

I am just doing mine but not getting 4 pots, just uprated disc's and pads. Hopefully i won't regret that.

What size Disc's are they on 4 pot?

not had time to bed in the pads to the discs fully as yet,but so far they do feel better than the 2 pots,beats me why the car came with them in the first place
