thicker disc, bigger pistons and pads are slightly taller too. The calliper itself is much bigger!

v6 will be heavier and apparantly give less pedal feel (spongy) although im not saying from experience, what power you running?

I was quite disappointed the other day when I saw a pic of a 2ltr disc at the side of a 1.2 16v one. That's just give me all the more reason to want these >>>Clicky<<<
