Default Xenous big brake conversion on flat-4-online?

As above,can anyone vouch for these as they look and sound mint especially at £795 for the 6-pot 355mm kit? Never heard of them before seeing them on flat4online,i presume they will fit behind my 17" bk 299 rims.Also the pads that they sell with kit ars carbon fibre for track/rally use,am i right in thinking that is a no go for road use? Gonna buzz them 2moz anyway but wanted some reassurance about them,please any feed back would be brill. ps for MY99 type R V.5

never heard of the kits but at 355 you will struggle to get 17' on..........more normal to need 18" wheels for this size kit

For that money I would go for the KSport brakes in the Group Buy section.

Tested and proven product. In addition, Apex customer service is excellent.

Seen some negative posts about Flat4online about delivery taking ages.

Good advice, and Rossi is right about their poor delivery, plus the guy that runs Flat 4 NEVER answers his phone. Go with the K Sports
