   I have read many an article about fitting them etc etc but do you actually need to use the 306 calliper bolt or can you use the ones that are already on if you do where is the best and cheapest place to get some?
   
   Also i got some spacers with the ones i bought (From a Guy Off here) are they really needed as i thought they didnt require them?

   iirc i used my saxo caliper bolts but i had to add a couple of washers to them as they were slightly to long so had to fill a small gap between the head of the bolt and the caliper
