+1 +100 Why not use the shims because you've got pistons on each side of the rotor?! Same thing really... shims on a floating calliper with active pistons on one side only - yes I can see that helps to align the braking effort and prevent the active piston from bending the rotor as it pushes the rotor towards the inactive pad shims on a Brembo calliper with active pistons both sides - I don't see the need maybe I'm missing something ?

Can you store the stats ?

Kids should learn to drive when they get to secondary school .... NOT on the roads obviously ...... it should be part of the school curriculum

You may want to think about keeping your standard wheels for winter use, so upgrading the rear rubber wouldn't be a waste of money in the long term

I don't think it's a cost effective mod ....... someone who knows more than I will be along in a moment I'm sure

I can understand why you'd need shims on brakes with a floating calliper but not why they would benefit brakes such as the Brembos which have moving pistons on both sides of the rotor What ??????????? surely shims fit between the pads and the pistons

so why aren't they shown in the manual ? and why aren't they fitted from new as OEM ?

No shims necessary in Brembos ......

That's the only bit I like on that car ..... oh and the colour

I'm not gonna say, someone might beat me to it That there be Fiddys car Beat ya too it Aint it sad that we can tell who's is who's by such a insignificant picture I have difficulty recognising your car Mark ......... such subtle differences from most Zeds on here

Here's a GBR on a Blade ....not sure who's this is

This is mine .... I have limo tinted the hatch since this was taken

Here's Dcash's ..... it's been posted before so I'm sure he won't mind This is the car that convinced me to do mine

neither thanks

There's an unmarked police GM BMW 5 Series Touring in your area Mitch (M62) ....... keep your eyes peeled ..... he tried to get me on the way back from Wales ..... came up behind me flashing his headlights like a boy racer wanting to see if I'd take him on

Cheers Barry

Errrr, pretty sure his name is Anders & not Ian my sincere apologies Ian

edit .......

stiringggggggggg

**** the bed! What should I be looking for? (2002 JDM) get a full spec for the wheels and then ask the experts on here .......... I think you're looking for about ET +20 but don't quote me

Yea you posted twice ... easily done .... and now you can't delete it unless you ask the mods haha

You must check the offsets on Amy's wheels before you buy though ..... if the offsets aren't right you'll end up spending another £200.00 on spacers to get the right stance
