I actually only chose the pintara ones because every R31 skyline that was there had parts stripped off it, either calipers or discs, and i decided it was best not to go mixing and matching. I took the wheels of a pintara and the calipers looked the same, and the discs were in much better condition so i thought i'd risk it :) I didn't end up getting the discs though as i think i will buy them new. I will also be doing a front brake upgrade so i thought i would start with fresh discs all round.. Actually any opinions on front brake upgrades would be great - i was considering the R31 struts and brakes, or possibly the VL turbo and verada mixture.. Are there any major pros or cons either way?? Thanks for all the help Mark.

Good choice mate, what were your reasons for choosing the pintara ones? Later.
