    Default 314 brake upgrade

    I've got really bad sticking calipers on my vec T the minute and bought some 314 brakes with Bremen discs and pads for £30. I've cleaned all the calipers down, managed to free the piston out a bit and cleaned that with wet and dry and cleaned up the carrier. Without sounding stupid is it just a matter of stripping the old brakes off and putting the new ones on? The other question was the brake guard. Do I simply cut the lip off with an angle grinder?
    Thanks and sorry if the questions have been asked before I did look but couldn't find anything.

    You just need to cut a small portion of the dust guard. Otherwise yes, just make sure they are up the correct way...... loads of info on here if you search. Best mod after remap I did.
