A few questions.

Is this a kit made for GTAs ie does it include caliper adaptors?
Will it fit under 16' wheels at the front?
How much is a kit like this worth?

A lot of discussion about EBC and being a UK brand I guess you guys would know best. Nobody has mentioned Yellow Stuff. I have used it in 2 tarmac rally cars with great sucess, really like that compound, anybody else used yellow?

this particular kit won't fit under 16's as its a large kit with 330 mm disks.... 17 inch wheels and above only.

there is another kit with 4 pot calipers and smaller disks which will fit under 16's though.... similare to the one we use onn the spider.

it comes with all the brackets etc bolts to fit it on the car.

Really?! But you never overheated them on the DeLorean with solid discs?

FWIW in the DeLorean world, redstuffs work really well if you drive hard.... what with solid discs and all, it's a piece of "wee wee" to overheat standard temp pads.

What's interesting, reading this, is that HiSpec have had a lot of criticism over their callipers when used on teh track. To each his own innit :D

The brakes were always superb compared to other 610s. The one part I had no trouble with!
