hey man, ride is looking killer.
just wondering with your caliper set up - have you had the brake lines made up yet? if so, where did you go, how mucka?
Also, did you keep the left hand (and vice versa) donor caliper on the left hand side of the car...therefore keeping the pipework/ lugs facing down? see photo below...
I have just installed my set up, and about to get the lines made up...but it would seem easier if the caliper lugs/ lines were facing up.
wondering if it's a simple swap from l/h caliper to right etc, or not. I'm going to keep the original flexi line to strut, then have another short flexi made up (I'm running original struts, no mods).
how did you set yours up?
btw, the rotors look huge with my 14s...must look rediculous with your 13s!!
cheers
