One for me please,

I used this kit off of eBay, arrived (from Germany) in 2 days!
I went for 40mm lower. Ride is a little bit firm, but not bone shaking.

If it isn't a seized or leaking slave cylinder then it could be a mis-matched pair. There are two different sizes (piston diameter) of slave cylinder that can fit the back brakes. I bet you've got one big & one small. How do i know? I had the same MOT fail - took 3 me retests before I sussed it!

Count me in please

Was thinking of giving it a go

Add me please, if i’m Not too late

Put me down please - though not got the GTX out of its 'cave' yet

I fitted the OMP lower brace to my car. I was fitting new wishbones anyway & they came with new rubber bushes. I remember the first front bolt went in a dream, but the second wouldn't have it.
