Edit: Scrap that, i'm thinking of steels and you're running harriers.
Yup, harriers indeed!

I'd personally go for Lucas 266s if you can, easier to chose pads for and look better imo.Those Bosch 266s only seem to come on ph3 1.8s, all my other ph3s have been Lucas!
Fair play! Thought about it last night, to be honest I won't bother swapping brakes to mine. I'll remove & sell them, my current brakes are more than good enough for what I use my car for (daily/motorway, nothing heavy)
To get Harriers/normal wheels to fit, just so I can get the car to the scrapyard, remove discs & calipers, should be able to still bolt up a wheel, right? Just needs to physically roll enough so I can get it on my trailer & back off again
