Since upgrading to hi-specs on the front I use Mintex M1144 compound all around. A bit dusty, but performance is good from cold an in my limited experience they feel better then the green stuff.
I have been told that greenstuff compound changes regularly so perhaps my info is old now

Wow, indeed the right disc is much more worn than the left one!!!lotusflasherman wrote:look how uneven the disc wear is ...

Seriously, that's impressive indeed. Are the sliding shafts working properly or are they a bit seized?

I am now about to be part of the Hi Spec club ... if i can find some conversion brackets.
I have emailed Hi Spec to see if they have any on the shelf .
oh and while I'm at it do the flexi hoses need to be extended ? having just bought some goodrich ones a few weeks back this would be quite annoying .
TA .

Phil is the difference between the 15' 16' 17" upgrade just the difference between the size of the conversion kit ?
I have a set of new hi spec's but no brackets . I am assuming that the actual calliper unit is the same . Is this a correct assumption ?
cheers
