I had to have my wheel weights removed as they jammed against the caliper, and then had the wheel re-balanced.

with new discs and pads they will just catch the fan part of the wheel, well mine did anyway. After some top speed emergency stops they fitted alright.

yeah i reckon 284's and 288's, which is why there is more room. adams are most prob late 288's and jacks are 284's..

284's are the ones to go for if your having spongy pedal problems.

284's would be better suited to a nova/corsa as they have slightly smaller pistons and less people have spongy pedal issues due to this.

i honestly thought there'd be that fraction more room with the 284's not the other way around lol, strange hey.

this was my old setup, 288's under 15" oz supertourismo wrc's
