Anyone know of any MY99 discs, pads and calipers for sale?

I assume they will fit on my MY98 without a problem...can someone confirm this? How difficult are they to fit?

What sort of a braking performance gain can I expect? I hear they are quite a lot better.

Cheers

Dave.

Dave.
You will need to change your wheels on your MY98 if you fit MY99 calipers, as they have a larger offset.
The MY99 wheels are the same style, but the spokes have more of a projected curve on them.
Just thought I'd warn you!

PS Have you looked further back in the 'Private' section? Try 20 or 30 days. I recall some people selling some there.

You won't need to change the wheels, as the MY99 brakes will fit fine under the MY99 16 inch wheels

I am sure the MY98 and MY99 wheels are the same.

Yes, Yes, I've already conceded defeat!
Dunno' who told me that though.

As posted in the other thread, the battle is not yet lost!
According to my dealer, part numbers for MY98 and MY99 wheels are different!
Four-pots may fit, but they're not intended too!
If this IS wrong, blame my dealer (Westaway Motors, Northampton).
