Puma speed brakes

Postby JamieFRST on Sun Aug 28, 2005 10:56 pm

Has anyone fitted a Pumaspeed 300mm upgrade :-? do they use there own calipers or are they Cosworth ones with bigger discs?

Also any photos?


Just looking for other options, cant seem to find any ST170 or 4x4 Cosworth ones around....Hi Spec seem really expensive :rolleyes:

From memory if its the kit they say fits behind 15" wheels then its a set of V6 Mondeo calipers butchered to bits with a angle grinder for clearance.

I haven't heard a single good word said about Pumaspeed yet, not that I've dealt with them myself yet... I can't say Kev's reply surprised me though!

last set I sold was £200.00, there always used. Still waiting to see if there going to be mine as there is only 1 car breaking and too many ppl after the whole car.

I got Pumaspeed 300mm on the front of mine.

Seem pretty good to me. Needed to put new rubbers on them as they were all split but otherwise they were fine, brand new discs and brand new pads are included.

ps. my calipers were not butchered with an angle grinder :bonkers:

After seeing a mag review of the Pumaspeed set up i wouldnt contemplate taking my car to them or buying bits from them, they look a right bunch of cowboy wideboys. But, appearances can be deceptive. The young lads there might not be dodgy charva's. Doubt it though.
