I'm thinking about buying this kit, looks like great value! My question is I'm running 7.5 inch discs at the moment, will these just be a straight swap or will l need to buy other parts to get these on the car. Hopefully l won't have any clearance issues my wheels are force racing 10x6 rims. Thanks everyone for there advice http://www.minisport.com/mslms01g-7-9-v ... ipers.html |

Sorry, can't help you. But good to see you went with the wheels, any pictures yet? Interested in the answer too, considering the KAD version as an upgrade down the track. |

I'm guessing these are metro discs shaved down to 7.9. So I'm guessing its a bit more than a straight swap |

Hey mate I dont think these are a straight swap as you will need diferent drive flanges. Not sure if the caliper mounts are the same tho. |

Yes they would. Are you sure they still gonna fit under your rims. I only use 8.4 discs so no clue about what fits under 10's |

Righto l called pommy land and spoke to a guy at minisport. He reckons 7.9 ventilated 4 pots will fit with no problems to my split rims, so I've ordered a 7.9 ventilated disc drive assembly in gold! |
