Well I got the greddy Emanage fitted and working, big thanks to Stav!

I've also fitted the short shifter, although it seems to be transmitting quite a lot of gearbox noise.
Does anyone have any ideas how to reduce it?

I'm just waiting for some silicone pipe in the post so I can fix the vacuum leak on the throttle body.

Bought some new brake discs:

Discs with the NOS Range Rover Sport Brembos ill be using. Sky remote included for scale Wink

Well I offered the calipers and discs up to the hubs last night ... They are a total no go!

Haha oh well you live and learn! Anyone want some JDM Supra discs? LOL

I'm going to put the calipers on eBay and hope I get my money back.

I'm going to just rebuild the standard brakes and then concentrate on a wideband and the Emanage.

If you want to fit the discs, I have a spare set of those special FIGS brackets so you can mount your standard calipers onto the Supra discs. £300 including import duty and VAT.

Thanks for the offer sprinter but the reason I was attempting it was to get rid of the standard calipers because I'm sick of the seals failing! I'm not bothered about stopping faster or anything!

I still don't understand how adding bigger disks on to the same sized callipers will make even an ounce of difference. The contact patch would be identical wouldn't it?

Heat will be lost from the disk quicker and it is heat that causes poor breaking.
