Bought some UK fronts from Paul E, got a few q's for ya.

 

- Theyre quite dusty, how do i clean the calipers? Will they need spraying again?

 

- Im gonna be running the uk fronts with j-spec rears. will this effect the brake bias by much?

 

- Ive got the calipers, pads and discs with braided lines, will i need anything else to complete the changeover?

 

- What brake fluid do you guys recommend??

 

TIA :cool:
