I believe there is a complicated mathematical way to work it out but if someone has
already worked it all out then ...

Front Discs are 304mm with Throphy 4 pot's rears are 280mm with std calipers, 15mm H&R spacers front and rear, wanted to keep the Abingdon wheels and wanted the wider trackflyingbanana wrote:What diameter disc are you running on the front and are they HiSpec calipers?

Re: MGF Hillclimb/Sprint Build
Love it!

Re: MGF Hillclimb/Sprint Build
This is looking very interesting! I am very much looking forward to seeing what the gearbox mount side looks like!
I am not hugely keen on paying the huge amount of cash Vibratechnics are looking for for their upgraded engine/gearbox mounts... This looks like a very ingenious alternative
