Hi Guys,

Need some help please. Want to do this upgrade & have read most of the threads regarding it.Got a 97 Highline with 288mm discs & from what I have read I can do this upgrade using the existing calipers with new carriers & the bigger discs.

My car is currently at The Phrim & I am sure that they said that I cannot use my current calipers & I need the ones off a TT.

Can anyone clarify this please?

Thanks,

Zak

So is anyone sure if the factory 15inch bbs' will or won't fit?

read the original post. but in short NO they will not fit. general rule of thumb is you need 16" wheels or bigger, i know some 15s do fit but the majority dont.
