Hi guys.

I usually reside on ukmkivs.net and just wanted some advice as I dont seem to get the answers I need from there.

I have a PD 150 02 and I bought some R32 front brakes-Calipers-carriers-discs-pads,with hoses attached. What I want to know is some people have mentioned that I will need a R32 brake line conversion kit from AMD, but I called them today and they said they dont stock them no more. So my questions are please
1 : Do I need a brake line conversion kit?
2 : If yes where can I get one?
3 : What pads do you guys recommend running with (ferodo's spring to mind)
4 : Anything else I need to be aware of?

Thanks for the help in advance!!!

sounds like you have everything you need bud.....you will need large enough wheels i.e. at least 17/18"s with the correct offset to fit. The brake hoses you need are Goodrich braided ones....very good.....
Just get standard oem pads as you car is lighter than the r32 being 2wd so they should be fine.
try here....or search google there are loads around

Ok I bought a R32 braided hose kit, but im not sure if it is what I need. I think all I got was the same hoses that come as standard but in braided form. What I actually need is a conversion kit. Can anyone help please? as im itching to get these on!
Thanks.
