They look really nicely done . I think you said they were off a 968....in which case don't forget to swap the bleeds and feeds before you fit them.

all done!

feels like the car has lost 200kg, brakes must have been dragging big time...

car feels so loose now, its a lot more back endy with the new geo, nothing a drop of a few psi in the tyres wont sort....

yeah, only thing original is the housings...

he has some more for sale still - not bad considering it wasnt an exchange, so i still have the old ones.

I'm letting russ have them, see if he can fix them, if not, i'll sell one thats ok, split the busted one, and auction off a paperweight
