HiSpec under VTS wheels?
 

Would these fit under VTS wheels?

i think so mate but ul need a small spacer

Yes i would say so.

As your not 100% sure phone them :)

I wouldn't get them if I was you. Cloud had so much ball ache with them, as they sent the wrong brake lines etc and the standard ones were rubbing. Had to wait a good few weeks for the right ones to come and before they did couldn't use full lock or they would rub really badly! :n:

Better off getting Brembos or Woods. :)

Better be looking after my future car too! :P

yes they fit. the brake lines come like that hannah

brembos use a lot bigger caliper with a lot higher fluid volume though.

Hi Specs fit with 3mm spacers

Willwoods fit without spacing

Brembos would need spacing into next weeek, as Willi says, they're big

what're the cheapest option of the 3?

Willwoods are under £500 I think, the Hi Specs have proper dust seels though

If you're running 16s then Brembos could be found cheaply at the scrappers

Eh? They sent the wrong ones so they rubbed...all sorted now

That's a standard feature, the lines are too long. I've sorted mine by wrapping them in friction resistant tape and pulling them out the way. A few people cable tied them to the strut. Bad idea, one fine chap from the SSC found that they rub through. He was approaching a roundabout at 70mph at the time... Ooops

Yeh Cloud faffed with his for ages, the garage tried fiddling with them to make them fit but didn't work and then HiSpec sent them the wrong brake lines again and 3rd time lucky eventually got the right ones and so far no trouble yet.

They are amazing brakes. I've found them to be ideal, and this winter, while the cars hasn't been near a track, I've used £7 Volvo 240 pads (the Hi spec caliper is based on the Lucas caliper from the Volvo 240) which has been nice and cheap

Yeh agree with you! They certainly work! :y:

A bit too well as Cloud found out in Germany when he locked up for braking too hard :P lol

It's the angle that the brake lines come out of the caliper that is a problem not the actual length of hose ;)

ASW to the max haha







Then after 6 laps of the ring...

Yeh thats what I meant, but cable tiying etc. like David said doesn't work.

I just got some shorter hoses from hispec and they were fine for two years, just takes some skilful angling of the hoses where they come out of the caliper and they will clear the wheels. It does take a bit of fiddling. I've fitted 2 other people sets of hispecs for them and they seem fine two years later too.

I do agree it is a crap design though.

Gloss Black S wheels with gold hi-specs, officially for the record look so pimp.

i had my brembos under 15s, got them for £150 aswell :P

£150 new with new discs and new pads? Yes Marc lol
