Hmmm

They don't actually look that much better than sierra calipers, and those brackets look uber hack.

They must be from an ancient 3 series as they have ventilated discs now. In any case, i reckon they're off the rear of an old 3, so that woudl mean they don't really need to be any better than a sierra front.

They might be better, but I wonder what the minimum rotor thickness permitted is for those calipers? sierra rotors are unususally thin.

With vitara calipers a bolt on.... I think i'd be giving this a wide berth.

(PS, i have always been impressed with the stopping power of a stock sierra in good nick, even with big tyres, it's the rear that seems to be where the problems lie.)

Now that you have a zook it might of been more appropriate to attend a Stay Upright course :finger: :D
