take advantage of your nill fog lights, and run some direct cold air feeds from them , mesh it up to stop anything getting in. simples job, effective.

As in cold air feed to the brakes? I have thought about this and have seen it done quite well by another member. He made a duct to fit onto the shield behind the disc. I can start to do this kind of thing now as the cars no longer used as a daily so it can sit with its bumper off for days while I tinker

Got them for £900 which wasn't too bad considering they're only 12month old. Should hopefully be a straightforward swap. They'll fit ok behind road wheels but think a spacer is needed for my track wheels (oems)

maybe a nice "how to" when you fit them ? but they do look nice.

Dont you need to shim them?

Think you might be right but don't think it's anything major though (I hope lol). The lad i'm getting them off fitted them himself so I'll get him to run through what needs to be done. I think he had to trim the lower arm as it was fouling the disc but he had buddyclub rca's fitted whether that made a difference or not I don't know

Well got everything fitted eventually, even without a setup it handles very well but it's booked in at Grinspeed to get it all sorted :-D. Anyway I didn't end up fitting the brakes myself being too busy with work (being lazy) but they were straight forward. Splash/dirt guard needs cutting off with the offset of the disc, and as mentioned a few shims needed to centralize the caliper over the disc. Not sure if it's normal or not but one side needed no shims the opposite side did. Anyhow they work and well :-D

I found the original brakes to be good with braided lines and a decent pad, fluid etc. I had the stoptech discs you have but unfortunately first time at oulton one of the calipers was sticking slightly and ruined one of them. Probably abit overkill these lol. Let's just hope the weather's good!

Car looks ace mate. Really nice mods. Let me know how you get on with the 3mm spacers. Still getting a bit of wheel wobble on mine at 70mph with 3mm spacers.

Just to let you know the spacers were fine mate. I did notice when i first placed the wheel on it wasn't sitting quite central to the hub, so sort of held it in place with my knees until i tightened the nuts. This may be your problem?
