Question

Hello!

Today my Prodrive/Alcon kit has arrived....it looks marvellous! .....these calipers are VERY big....WOW!

My question:
I have a lowered MY98 (-35mm). Do I have to adjust the brake balance after fitting the Prodrive kit?
Further I heard that this can be done by a small valve???

greetings and thanks for any information

Ric, I would have thought that ANY make of brake kit would be considered great by you if it turned up within 8 weeks!!! Even chocolate calipers and choc-ice pads

Sorry for the delay in replying, I been on holiday etc.

No, you dont need to adjust anything. We spent a long time adjusting piston sizes in the calipers to get the balance right.
