  1. Oh, is it the kit that uses the spare tyre on pressure so it makes pumping the pedal redundant?

     

    Yea it's that buddy, as i'm working myself i have no one to pump the the pedal so using pressure bleeding kit

  2. Aren't you supposed to attach the bleeding kit onto the bleed nipple on the caliper itself?

    Remember that if you got Brembos, you got two nipples on the fronts, inner and outer.

     

    No it goes on the reservoir so you don't need someone else to pump the brake pedal, you just need a length or 2 of hose for the nipples. Cheers i know there are know nipples :)

     

    One is the clutch other is brakes, larger reservior (nearer the drivers wing mirror) is the brakes.

     

    Without sounding very bitchy ... if you're not confident at the difference between a clutch and a brake master cylinder should you be really be mucking about with your brakes as failure could be fatal!

     

    Cheers, and thanks for the concern. I have bleed brakes before, just not an ABS system so wasn't sure if the other reservoir was something to do with the ABS.

  3. I'm putting braided hoses on tomorrow so need to fully bleed my capliers but when i looked under the brake fluid panel there is 2 fluid tanks, what one should i attach my ezay bleed too?

  4. Got my spacers of my 350 for sale, 2 pairs of 20mm. Had these with the standard Rays and they made the car look much better

    Also got a set of 16 standard light weight Ultralite nuts and 4 locking nuts too. Bought these for my new Volks but decided not to use them.

  5. It's for looks mainly but moving to larger disks I think should reduce the pressure from pads for the same braking which increases pedal feel and reduces heat. I know my stopping distance won't change (planning on doing the rear too) I'll hardly notice any difference so as said mainly looks.

     

    Oh and yea by 'spacer' I mean bracket to move the caliper out.

  6. Yea sorry guys, I am talking about the width of the disk and the front. 32mm diameter would be awfully small lol I know the standard with is 30mm just wonder if the caliper could handle an extra 2mm.

     

    That was typo buddy, thanks. Now I don't look like one of the fools who call it greedy.

     

     

    would be tight, which discs are you thinking of using.

     

    Tight but ok? I'm looking to up the diameter and move to a 2 piece but can't on 30mm disks.
