I knew there was a reason I asked about piston sizing!

Yup. :happy2: Thanks to DaveB im not about to make a mistake. I have advised the guy with them fitted to his Polo, and he seems to think they are fine over 70mph. But each to their own.
I will be now moving to some Boxster fronts which have bigger piston sizes than the Clio did, so it should be quite astonishing with the little Polo once they are fitted. :happy2:

Their piston size is totally wrong.
Dave can correct me if I am mistaking.

Deako, I'm glad you were stopped before it was too late. You will absolutely love the NQSBBK!
I am also glad I did not present false information :innocent:.

Thanks Rex. I guess that 4 years on, some information that Dave told people has kind of stuck as gospel, even though he knows it was wrong now. Thankfully, we have a resident brake expert that is a pleasure to speak to, and after him explaining it in more detail, i am thoroughly happy with the decision to cancel the order for the Boxster S calipers.

Just goes to show how people are either too stubborn or ignorant to accept when something is crap.
Should be epic on the right calipers :happy2:
