Just got a call from ABS, they are saying that the calipers I have given them (off Mohit's old Verada) are not fitting properly, they said they put the pads on but the wheels wont turn, like the brakes are constantly applied. I have the QFM HP-X pads going on.

Is there something they should know, or something extra that needs to be done for swapping the whole lot over??

no worries, caliper was sticking because of some old grease and the hubs were not flush and rotor not sitting straight. All good

Good to hear it's been sorted.

You'll enjoy your new brakes. :)

lol misunderstanding on their end, I asked why it was taking so long and they said they weren't sure what was wrong as they had only just put the wheel back on.

They did a stellar job, very happy camper. I am bedding in the brakes before seeing how good they are, but already extremely happy with the bite. It feels like the car has lost 200kg when I brake lol
