Hi Guys,
Sorry for not updating this in ages....I hadn't forgotten, just been very busy. So after all the hassle of ripped threads and rounded bleed nipples I got everything sorted including new nipples at £8 odd each. The shims I didn't need were returned with no problems.
Anyway the brakes are well bedded in now (covered around 500miles)and.......i'm really happy with them. They stop just as well as the OEM parts they replaced. Not pushed them to their limits yet....but as stated at the start of the thread...I rarely drive that hard. But they definitely bite well.
The only down side I can give to them is the noise due to the grooves with the windows down...it’s not too bad though and certainly bearable, just a light woosh noise.......The Pagid pads are still squealy, the cooper grease made it slightly better but they are still noisy round town...thankfully I’ve not been round town for a couple of weeks.
All in all, I’m a happy bunny
