only one problem i had with my csp disks..
i wanted to exchange the studs in them ,
and by unscrewing the studs, the threads came out of the hubs..
so i had to put helicoils in them...
but it works fine...

I'm sure it states in the instructions not to mess with the studs in any way...

you bet, BugIn it is, only slight problem is your country will not allow me to bring in a sixpack of Duval 

[Peter]

yeah,
but to bolt on my empi repros i needed M12 studs opposed to the M 14 s that were installed..

Running CB 5-205 discs front and back for the last season, didn´t think they were so bad, the only thing you need to be wary of is the fitment according to what wheels you´ll be running - it says specifically when ordering - if you are running BRMs because you need longer studs, but I found that pretty much everything other than steels/356 or centrelines/ercos would need longer studs to run responsibly - and then you can´t run the bubble type centrelines or ercos (3.5") without spacers because the caliper is too chunky.. I´m considering at least to swap out the calipers or maybe run CSP instead..
can´t beat the exchange rate to europe though....

my tuppence worth...

CB Kits are cheap for a reason dude - THEY ARE CRAP  for a start they use FIAT calipers 

Do you know which Fiat?

I bought a complete CB front end - 2" narrowed beam, dropped spindles and disc brakes, all second hand but unused and still in the box, but I haven't used it yet. I thought the quality was reasonable although not as good as the CSP set up on a couple of friends cars. The only thing that sucks is the use of different studs for the Flat Four BRMs I've got for the car - my discs are for Erco's I think!

I have no idea which fiat but which ever it is - ITS CRAP!!!!!! I have an idea that they are in fact REARS you see they come with a "Banjo" type bolt fitting for the flexy hose which by its very nature trys to undo its self ever time you turn the steering wheel - NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!!!!!! Also the bolts that come with the banjo fitting are too long for the calipers and "Bottom out" or worse still SNAP
One last thing they don't even come with backing plates.

Me and Gav (G77) are in the process of fitting a brand new set of CSP's to his 63  - and from what hes told me so far they are pretty much PERFECT - everything FITS and WORKS

And what about the kits sold by SoCal Imports: http://www.socalautoparts.com/ ?
Any return on those products?

will bubble centerline's fitt to a CSP wide five disc set ? at this moment i have a cb set and on those it will not fit with out a spacer, will it fit directly to the CSP set ?
