    I've got a little video of me on my 5-Axis machine milling out a scaled model of a lotus Elise from solid billet.
    I'll try and get it loaded up tonight.

    Those M4's are a snip if they're under £500.
    Don't forget, they come with NEW pads...which are the best part of £100.
    So a good deal really.
    I'd buy some myself, but I already have the 4 pad brembos on mine, with the same piston dia.
    So no gain really.
    Gotta keep scourning ebay :lol:

    If those are on ebay does it not cost them 10% in fees ?

    Just thinking would they sell them cheaper off ebay or on a group buy ?

    Might be worth asking what they'll do for say a 5 or 10+ order Graeme?

    I NEED a set of these but I don't think I couldn't stomach having to change my pads up to 3 times a year!.

    It's kinda the same as printers, sell em 'cheap' but charge a load on consumables.

    Anyone got experiences of fitting them to an ABS?, I got a niggling feeling ABS power valves are optimised to the OEM set up so the size increase of pistons may 'confuse' the ECU:confused:

    Why would you have to change your pads 3 times a year or is this for a Track Bike?

    I do track it (only a couple a year) but I also do up 18k per annum on my commute. The slightly binding pads and slightly warped discs don't help. Therefore the calipers and discs must be replaced with Italian exotica.

    To the Mrs this is essential maintenance to ensure my safety:D

    Unless I'm mistaken that makes you a pioneer in that upgrade to an ABS, be very interested to see how you find them. I'll probably decide to buy when the prices goes up!

    If he will do a deal on a group buy and knock a £10 off then I'm in..
    Maybe get a list going of who's interested so that we can let him know the numbers.

    They should be here come Tuesday.

    It'll be interesting to see how they perform. I'm not looking forward to fitting the new lines and bleeding the system though.
    I know that is going to be a whole world of pain :(

    You could then buy now and then even if they don't work out to be what you think, then once the price goes back up sell them for price paid :)
