Well, finally got my brakes through this morning so went about fitting them. Few problems, mainly with the shims on the pads so some of them came off and were replaced with copper grease.

Whilst I was at it, re-greased the caliper sliders, flushed the brake fluid, adjusted the exhaust, flushed the clutch fluid and greased the clutch fork selector.

I also painted the calipers!

If you don't want your rear shims, can I have them? Stupidly I decided I didn't need them when I fitted redstuff, and lost them.

Good work Ron.

Are your front offsets a bit unusual btw? Wheels look a bit more recessed than normal.

They look good behind the 6 spoke wheels, plenty of room to see them.

Be interesting to know what you think of the red stuff pads once they are bedded in.

They'll be bedded end by the end of tomorrow's drive

Look good, tasteful

Got these on my car now. I have the new yellow stuff in waiting, plus Russel lines and I guess I will do the power slot rotors too with new fluid. I can't wait to feel that combo.

These hold really well. Sometimes my brakes feel a bit spongy, but they hold for ever. About the same dusting as OEM I think.

All I can remember from Scoobynet was how many people trashed discs with Red Stuff pads.
So much so, that it put me off and I opted for Ferodo DS2500 which gave a lot of dust but better stopping power.
No apparent massive increase in disk wear, obviously more than standard pads, but not easily measured.
