ive had a search but cant find much info on the pedal travel these give, ive just fitted these to my 180 and the travel is considerably longer than it used to be, is this normal or have i still got some air in the system?
thanks

If your still not sure if you've cleared the air then I guess you need to be 100% sure before you can even question pedal travel to be honest.

+1 , at times I feel they won't pull me up hard enough but when you really need them and you stand on that brake pedal the brembos will bite hard! All the above MC change comments above are great info as I've driven one with an anti flex plate and MC change and it was a lot tighter.
Cheers Matt

These Brembo calipers sound more trouble than they are worth.

They do look the goods, I catch ppl looking through the front wheels all the time then they look over the rest of the car wondering what the hell it is to have brakes like that! I'm trying to get my hands on a matching set of rear 2 pots if anyone sees a pair please

you would struggle without a custom bracket for the rears, can be done anything can be done knowing the right people, autograss makers are best bet for custom work like that guy near me said it wouldnt cost much, doing a cage for me for about 500
