Think you will enjoy those brakes more than the Willwoods Gerry :D

I look forward to some seriously late braking now from you at the Sprints.

The barr just keeps getting raised :o

next I expect Andy to pop out with a 500bhp fire brerathing monster, then I will just go home and sulk :!: :roll:

It's all down to price. With the exchange rate as it is, the price wasn't too bad. When the APs came up, that was it. Couldn't not do it. :roll:

If you definitely want them, I'll keep them for you. How long before you'll know?

I've been looking at brake set ups for ages. The Wilwod 6 pots were top of the list. There's some K Sport 8 pots available and some 10 pot Italian jobbies, which I almost had if the bloke had been available.

Spoke with Adge at Adgespeed, where I bought the slicks and then some pads. He said not to get alloy calipers as the salt destroys them after 2 years. His recommendation was APs is the only way to go or stick with the Brembos. As he regularly rallies and runs the business to finance it, I guessed he knew what he was talking about and just about confirmed what everyone says.

So, when these came up, I dug deep :cry: and here they are :D

Argggghhhhhhhh Tried fitting them on Friday and the bolts won't go through the holes in the hub. It was too late for anything but a straightforward swap so re-fitted the Brembos for Saturday's Silverstone sprint.

I'll have a closer look and see what the problem is. Bugger :x

The flames emanating from the Brembos were quite spectacular however. Unusual for a car to come with its own fireworks display :)
