To quote the STI service manual:

Tighten wheel nuts to secure disk rotor.
Set a dial gauge at a point less than 10mm from the outer periphery of the rotor and then measure disk rotor runout.

Max Limits:
Front - 0.075mm (0.0030in)
Rear - 0.070mm (0.0028in)

Group buy is still available.

Theres a couple of day delay, KSport didnt just authorise release of the goods as we requested but have sent the original Bill of Lading out to us by courier. The Bill of Lading is proof of ownership and the freight company cannot release the goods to us until they recieve this documentation.

We have the tracking info and the bill of lading is due to arrive with us Monday. We will send it straight back out the same day to be with the freight company Tuesday. They will then authorise the release of the goods to be with us late next week

Had they done as requested and just authorised the release then wed have the kits by now but hey ho, nearly there now

GROUP BUY NOW CLOSED!

Ive just not had time to get the info on the 304s, Ill get Kev onto it today. We will extend the GB to those who enquired about the 304s as its my fault you couldnt make an info based decision before the deadline

The units are due with us today, we will turn them around as quickly as we possibly can.

Im on holiday for a week as from tommorrow, back in the office on Monday the 16th. My staff are well versed in processing these sorts of large deals so I cant forsea any issues but if you do have a problem theres no point pm'ing me, I wont be here. Give us a ring on 01274 683633

Please give us until mid next week before chasing, as I say the shipments only due in today. If it arrives late then we wont be able to start sending orders out until tommorrow to start arriving with you guys Monday.
