HiSpec front brakes

A very nice set of HiSpec brakes came through. Vented/grooved discs and 4 pot calipers.

Very straight forward to fit on the offside:

Alignment of the caliper with the disc looks good:

Sadly not the same story on the nearside - the outer edge of the disc is rubbing on the caliper itself:

Turns out the wheel bearing on the nearside upright wasn't seated properly to the flange was too far outboard and in turn the disc. The splined washer was the problem. I happened to be visiting FSC so they kindly sorted it out very quickly.

Looks tasty all set up and with the pads fitted:
