Please see the pictures
Move the adapter with inox iron back 4 mm and inwards 3 mm
You need bigger bolts to the adapter. It is easy to find
I use the oem hoses . No problem
With oem rotors
I use our brake pad sensor
I bought brembo brake pads for these calipers... easy to find

And read all the post....
I will work in the rear brakes

With gl 420 cdi oem rotors, in the future ... I will change it for bigger ones and better. 390 mm.
The brembo pads are not good... I need to look for better ones too

To take out all of air inside the brake hoses... you will need a machine... by hand is so difficult .
