Update

Post by duncan »

New discs and pads ordered today to replace the OE brembo discs that have either warped or got uneven pad deposits.

I did toy with skimming the discs but as they got some serious abuse with the vibration in place it would be a dead certainty that the vibration would return shortly.

Therefore after much deliberation Performance Friction Discs / Pads have been chosen for stopping duties.

These are being supplied by http://www.zenperformance.co.uk by our friends Paul and Derek :D

You need AST Stage 2 coilovers :-D

Could you list the mods you have done to get upto 380bhp? Was it a PPP to start with?

Nope - not going AST

KW Coilovers are going on soon ... ish

Adam - mods are shown in the Garage on here. Full Members have access to that.

It wasnt PPP to start with no point IMO and a huge waste of money.

Any reason why you aren't considering ASTs? Price?

I will pay up soon. Honest! :lol:

AST - good road system but overpriced for what you get. KW are better for the money.

If I had the dosh it would be EXE-TC coilovers but ..... :(

The KW are a great set-up - I believe that MADDOG is getting them soon :D

ASTs are overated rubbish from what ive seen.. only their 3 ways seem to be any good and theyre about 2.5k. If i was spending 2.5k id buy Motons instead.

KWs are about as good as you'll get for that price bracket.

Good choice Dunc :D

Pretty sure they do. But you would probably need to ask Zen or another supplier tbh :)
