Question

hello .
i have a my96 uk car.with 2 pots etc...but the cars tuned to about 280 brake and i feel the orig setup leaves much to be desired!!
so i have bought some 4 pots(off a p1) with disks/pads etc.
i will also be getting new braided hoses also.

Q...when i fit them all in one go..whats the best way to do it?
anything tricky i should watch out for?
Q..also what order should they be bleed in please?

Many thanks for any help...as i'm about as much a mechanic as Dot Cotton(after several strong brandys)
cheers

Question

If you're not happy doing this, try ringing round some local brake specialists for a price to fit, and bleed. Two hours should see it done, so budget for £50 upwards.
Better safe than sorry, esp with brakes!
