Is there any difference between 325 and 320 front brakes? Can I just fit 325 calipers over the stock 320 disc and use 320 pads? Just out of curiosity. Thanks guys.

Regards Mark.

Hi Mark, the calipers are the same as long as theyre from another car that has vented discs, there are different makes of calipers (ATE and Girling) but pads and discs are universal for these calipers, but parts for the calipers themselves are not, hope that helps!

Hi Mark

I'm afraid that I'm not breaking the car anymore, decided to use it as a track car..slowly adding things back to it now! :lol:

Looking for some manual window winder regulators now though :lol:

Yes mate, could you ask him if he would be willing to sell them and post them? That would be great! Scott did offer his electric regs FOC, but because of the wiring (there wasn't any!!) and the weight advantage, I decided to go for manual ones instead!

Yes Mark, that would be great, let me know how you would like payment as soon as he's confirmed he's got all the bits! Cheers!
