Title: 99 spec brakes question
Post by: CharlieP on April 06, 2010, 08:48:46 PM
Hi all-
 Now I\'ve been looking up to see if there were differences on the 99spec FD, it seems that the fron disk should be 330mm x32, vented two skin dics.
 
Now mine had standard, single skin disks, could it be these are incorrect!?
 
Or....like the improved turbos, were these only on certain models!?

Try Balance Motorsport, they do most parts
Also they are next door to Super7Autos (Rotary) so he might be able to help too!
