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...

Running CB 5-205 discs front and back for the last season, didnīt think they were so bad, the only thing you need to be wary of is the fitment according to what wheels youīll 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 canīt run the bubble type centrelines or ercos (3.5") without spacers because the caliper is too chunky.. Iīm considering at least to swap out the calipers or maybe run CSP instead..
canīt 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!

Do you know which Fiat?
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
