now you have good stoping power.
time to get open design rims so you can see the calipers!
calipers were they bought new or used?
i guess it took you some time to calculate how much to remove from dust shield?
are you happy with the job your Quaife diff does?
how much did it cost you to get a new quaife?
only improvement is it to get a better launch with quaife?
what else did you have to get to incorporate the quaife into your stock diff?

Great looking six pots
Are those Yellowstuff pads? If so how do you find them working?

I also find the Yellows bite very nicely when cold, but disappoint and fade with heavy braking in downhill mountain runs. Perhaps I'm asking too much from them with standard brakes apart from drilled 334mm discs. It would be interesting to see how you like them with the 6 pots

Hi all ive have now got the brake pedal and feel ive always wanted.
after installing the 6 pot cailpers I never really had a great pedal feel I used the 345mm x30mm discs and yellow stuff pads.
Now i have fitted the 2 piece genuine discs 340mm x 32mm and genuine pads and wow its like a new car I can not believe the just how good the brakes
So my advise is any one thinking of doing this mod get the proper pads and discs![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
