My new brakes - Porsche style!!
After yearning for a set of A/P's for ages, I went against the grain and managed to get hold of a set of Porsche GT3 Calipers and A/P 356mm Disc's at a good price 2nd hand(Powerstation kit)
Thanks to Ian at Godspeed for prepping and fitting them and Dannyboy for selling them to me
Over the moon with them, still need to put a bit more mileage on them to clean up the disc's and they will be working 100%, the difference at the moment is excellent!
Here are some pics

They look stunning Si, Just wished I could of justified keeping them but I'm glad they went to a good home.

No doubt they are great brakes but I would of painted out the Porsche logo, it just doesn't look right on anything else but a Porsche.

I know what you mean but they are Porsche brakes so no harm in leaving the name there really.

Thanks lads for all the positive comments, after 8 years of ownership i'm still loving it, the brakes are one of the finishing touches and somthing i've wanted for years
Bigforger, I know what you mean I was having that dilema about the "Porsche", their actually stickers and not painted and they just did not look right off, needed a bit on contrast to break up the red.
The stopping power is great and can't wait for them to be 100% effective, will have to adjust my driving style slightly
Dan, did you get the Goodridges hoses I sent mate?
