Hello
I took delivery of my Brembos for my R53 on Saturday they look amazing, after a test fitting with R99 wheels i had 1mm of clearance between the wheel and calliper so took them off and ordered some 5mm spacers from lohen.

I took this opportunity to install the back callipers, what a pain but got there in the end.

However the braided hoses supplied in the kit I'm unsure of, the thread on the braided hoses are 2cm, whereas the originals are 1cm. The callipers them self can only accommodate 1cm too, having this excess a bad thing or should i send them back?
