Hi there,

Was looking to buy complete rear brakes to convert from the rubbish brake hubs on my ek3 1998 Pre Facelift, to either VTI or EK9 rears.

Anyone have any lying around or could point me in the right direction would be much appreciated:nice:

Also would like to buy some EK9 or DC2 Rear seats (Depending on which ones fit, Cant remember) also for my EK.
Thanks, Marc
 
Marc give gerry at performancetek a bell and he will sort you out with a rear disc conversion for £200 supplied and fitted. I was gona do it but never got round to it!

A rear DC2 bench will fit no probs! Just keep phoning the sports car breakers in and around Edinburgh and you will pick one up pretty cheap!
 
Cheers Mate, got some spare cash floating around so better to do it now rather than P*ssing it against the wall.

Cheers

£200 supplied and fitted. :rolleyes: And what shape are they in. If your just getting used arms they cost about £50. Then you need to put new disks £18 per side. Pads £12 for the set. Now you need brake lines and brake cables. Cables are £50ish. Lines can be £20 or more if you put steal braded lines on.

So thats almost £170ish worth of parts. So I cant see them being installed for £30.

I would say more on the £300 supplied and fitted would be right.

I spoke to Gerry myself about it and he has done a few of my mates conversions! Always very reasonable. Marc get your finger oot! :p

How you getting on wi the lips and spoiler??!! :nice:
 
Lips are amazing, Fitted them on Sunday. only took about two hours with no instructions:clap:. Spoiler is **** though. Fits after some very slight mods and will need to be glued down aswell because it doesnt sit even all the way around:angry:. Ill send you some pics after they get sprayed, Might even post a couple on here. Finally getting the skirts done aswell. :nice:

Cheers Marc
