What was the issue jack?

by **Jack_Keaka** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:55 pm

When we took the brake caliber off it was resting on the control arm, when we put it back on the brake line ended up going over the control arm instead of under, which meant the brake booster had to work harder. It took a second year apprentice 10 minutes to spot. Derp a derp a diddly derp

by **mitch2147** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:57 pm

Ehh doesn't matter if you don't use them any time soon. I won't be needing them so might as well give them away.

I'll have a look in the car hold to see if I can find them.

thanks chris!

well after 4 days they seem to have produced little to no dust. and i havnt been going easy as i have been testing to see how good they are. (brilliant)
i really like this upgrade, still some more bits to come but so far they really do better than those awful RX brakes and subaru genuine pads
