Mike B Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Well for a kit that was labelled JZA80 the final timesheet read one year, one month. It took a year of fannying about with brackets, calipers and disks forwards and backwards from the states but in the end (after I sourced some bolts) we finally got them on and working. Rotora 355mm 6 pots. haven't used them on a track yet but they look up to the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I was planning on fitting these too. Were they really that much of a pain in the arse to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 I was planning on fitting these too. Were they really that much of a pain in the arse to fit? Really easy to fit, after I had done the first I could do it with my eyes shut and not spill anything on the floor - they are very good quality and very easy. Trouble is getting the correct brackets / disks and calipers, we went through 4 variations before we found a matching set. TBH if you get a good supplier you should have no probs.

terribleturner Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 That is damn long time but they really top the car off nicely, good job mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 They look very nice Mike Should have bought Japanese It started off as a cheap US upgrade, on the spur of the moment through Jurgen, but then escalated ito a full mission. I have a contact in AP UK who could have got me the same 355's at the same price, but I was already up to my eyes in getting these sorted. Brakes are expensive even from JP no - 355's 6 pots you must be looking at 1700+ delivered no? If it's less, please dont tell me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Looking good, mind if I ask what the cost was ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Looking good, mind if I ask what the cost was ? That's a good question. Because of the continuing cockups XO Autopsorts who originally imported the brakes went to bat and tried to sort everything out at cost - I think the final tally was somewhere around 1.6. A lot of money, but at the end of the day they can always be sold on again... and Jspec brakes and tracks do not go together...! I have a feeling these kits go for a lot more, you can pay a fortune for 355's 6 pots.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
