Alright, I bought some piazza front discs and calipers on the weekend after testing whether you need the stub axles or not. you dont. I have a TG so they will fit onto tg stub axles but other models might be different. I got them machined today and will be fitting them on the weekend and I will write a workshop article on this conversion. so keep posted. also feel free to ask any questions. i sorta test fitted them onto my car but havent completely bolted it all on cos it requires drilling the stub axle mounts for the caliper and a bit of custom brake line.

Is this ACT Nick?
If so did you get them from the wrecking piazza in the paper on the weekend?
How much did you pay?
I wanted to go have a look at that one but was working so didnt have a chance.
