Cheers, there is a pic of the hoses on this thread, you just can't see a lot of them as the engine hides them.

I didn't, took to a body shop I always use as I'd rather pay a professional to do it properly as you get a much better finish that way.

Finally got round to getting my big brake kit fitted yesterday after its been sat in the garage for months. Makes a really noticable difference straight away even before they've bedded in! Before they got fitted I replaced all the rubbers & slider pins on the calipers so its basically a brand new brake kit & everything should last a while.

I'm surprised how small they look behind the 170s. Would of thought they'd look massive. Plan on getting mine soon though Great update, keep it up

Yeah I thought they looked a bit small compared to when I had my ST170 with that size discs, still they look better than the standard setup & preform much better even before they've bedded in so well worth the money. Try looking on eBay for wheels, that's where 4 of the 5 I've got came from & think the dearest one was £60.

Definitely, can't wait to get mine done. How much was the labour for them fitted?
Haha but i want yours

The guy where I go charged me £130, that was to do the front conversion, rear lines & top up brake fluid.

[Seans_Fes_Mk7]

That's a good price but I'm assuming that's sort of discount for the continued business?

To be honest mate don't know whether they give me discount or not, never question what they charge me cos they've always done a good job & never took the piss. He said he charged me 2hrs labour & think it actually took him bout 2 & half hours so I'm not complaining.
