   good guide even with part numbers links everything.
   
   if you shop around you can get all parts for £210 delivered inc VAT for a brand new set of callipers, disks, pads and carriers.

   if you can get these then do, i have them on mine and they are the best thing ive done in terms of modding. alternatively go for 266 set up, they are a good set up too.

    Yes, they just need a little grinding- dont grind the strut, other threads suggest the carrier. So line it up first and make some rough marks of where you need to grind. Doesn't need a lot of work at all.
    
    The carrier also may end up a little close to the disc, so you may need some washers as spacers- found one side was slightly different to the other for some reason, using the same washers as a spacer there was a slight difference.
    
    This may be the reason people are talking about squealing on some setups... Anyway, just put the disc on first with the torq bolts so you can see how everything is spaced out first, have the washers handy and a grinder ready to take a timy slice off the top of the carrier.
