Thanks for the tip mate.

heres a valuable tip.............Buy the Hoppers Stoppers kit. (I have the ebay kit and wouldn't go down that path again)

Kizza could you please take me some up close pics of you ebay kit, and also are you running capri struts?

"does anyone know which rotors and caliper they run?"
If you had read that topic you would seen that we believe the ebay kit to use VE commowhore calipers and the hoppers kit to use BA failcons =)

I was under the impression that the capri strut had to be used because of the bolt on steering arm giving that bit more clearance between the tie rod end and the rotor?

Ive got to buy one of these kits sometime in the near future. And I personally will be going Hoppers over eBay just because I have heard nothing but good things about Hoppers stoppers.

I'm running the eBay kit and it wasn't 100% bolt on had the have the hub centre hole O.D. machined down as it was too big for a std Escort size wheel centre hole.

Also if your concenred about keeping your cars weigh down then it also best to avoid them or the other brand simply because of the components used.
I was quite suprised at their weight. It was around and extra 6-7kgs or something from memory over my old setup.

For the money I paid for the kit, I shouldnt really complain

Im yet to test on the track.

These no good for you?

I haven't got any pics of it sorry, yes they are ridiculously heavy as Rhys stated. And im running bilstein struts (which are basicly the exact same as capri).

I have a set of AU II calipers and am trying to work out if i can make brake set-up out of them for the escort running std struts, this is why im asking for pictures of peoples set-ups, I was under the impression that hopper stoppers use AU as they are lighter than the BA caliper.

Thanks for the tips guys, any more info would be greatly appreciated.
