Is this worth doing or is there a beter kit for same money?

Also would they fit behind phase 2 Valvers wheels? I'm not ever changin the wheels by the way.

arj (adam) has them on his car, apparently they fit behind turbine, but not ph2 wheels, tbh i woudl spend the little extra and get 4 pots, will notice alot more difference

Don't think that kit will fit behind std ph2 wheels without 5mm spacers....

Theres a few MM clearance on the Williams/ dynamic alloys so I'f think turbines will be fine. I'll measure them if you want tomorrow.

They fit behind turbons wiht no spacers, adam has turbins as track wheels and had no problems, as i said its only ph2 wheels thats the prob

if i put a 10mm spacer on, would that cause any handling issues?

[Lunner]

They dont fit due to the width, does no one listen???

10mm spacers will improve your handling, but they STILL won't make the discs fit behind the ph2 wheels, the internal diameter of ph2 wheels is smaller than that of the ph1 wheels

Yup i have the 285mm Kit and as i found they dont fit :( the internal diameter of the ph2 valver wheels is too small so the caliper comes in contact with it.
What confuses me is i have seen them behind ph2 wheels

Im not sure what has been done. They fit under Turbines and other wheels hence why i want some Turbines
When i had the kit on my 1.2 with Pagid fast road pads:

It was great could easyly lock up compared to the 259mm set up on my valver. and the braking performance is better.
Could notice the passengers moving alot more.
Im not sure how they would compare to 4pots. but i bought mine cheap. as there new price is quite alot.

4 pots are superb next to those big disk kits the big disk heat up on track in a second and there useless.
