just looked on there site and was about to post a whoops coment but you beat me to it. think ill try and find the receipt for this kit and change it. also was gonna try and get some brake grease, my dads suggestion (says its hard to find), and lubricate the piston, he says sometimes if a caliper has been on the shelf a while it can get sticky. just one other question is it possible to take the piston out of the caliper? that way i could check it more closely. one more question honest, i didnt bleed the clutch system should i have done this? oh and the tester said when i said maybe theres some air still in the system "dont think so mate the pedal seems quite hard".

p.s. do i need to put some copper grease on the brake pad runners so they slide on the caliper and caliper brackets better. and do you think adding some more silicone grease to the caliper guides might help?
