Just want to make a point clear too guys as some have asked why the big difference between the same painted or polished. The reason is that only the polished are surplus calipers where as the painted and the calipers for the big rotor kits are brand new and have never been installed ( as are all the rotors and pads brand new ). The surplus calipers have done maybe 2-3 kilometres as the car is driven off the assembly line and onto a car carrier and then off again just down the road at Ford Performance Vehicles or FPV. Here the calipers are once again removed and actually fitted with the 330 rotors and matching calipers the same as the big rotor kit available. So the surplus may have some marks on the back of the caliper where it has not been polished afterwards.
Just received my kit from the courier. Very professional looking kit. The disks and especially the calipers are huge.... makes the stock XJ stuff look tiny in comparision. Cant wait to get it bolted up
Put half of it on this evening, the passengerside caliper need about 1/2mm more linishing as it was rubbing on the wheel over an are of about 1cm, easily fixed. I also needed to use the dremel on my stock hub as there is a tiny lip that was stopping the rotor from sliding all the way on. This lip doesn't seem to be on aftermarket hubs, a couple of minutes and it was done Other than those minor issues the passenger side is now pretty much done, drivers side will be done tomorrow.
