Ive just bought some 2.0l brakes and i see posts about them a lot so will someone write a tutoral on fitting them as i have searched through posts and there is nothing detailed about it. pads and discs are not a problem 4 me just changing calipers is it easy? 
Cheers in advance

not done a tutorial, but its very easy.
only thing defferent when you change the calipers is to clamp the brake hose, undo then re-attatch the hose to the new calipers and bleed the system.
They mount on the same as the old calipers, just whack the pads in, the discs on new washers, copper grease and ur done

PS: U will need at least 5.5j x 14" rims to fit over these brakes.

if u wanna do a little bit extra, invest in some braided hoses as well. But the old ones are a pain to get off.
Use dot4 fluid.
oh, theres a great tutorial on topbuzz, i just go get it .
