Question

Not you Dougsy, I think it had Gold Speeline alloys, Would like to know what you have for front brakes, they look like standard 4 pot calipers with some f*** off big brake discs or was the exhaust fumes making me see things! Kinda looked like AP racing discs.

Cheers

Paul

if it was 6 spoke compomotives, then that was mine.

front brakes are Godspeeds 335mm disks, with modified 4 pot calipers. A huge improvement over standard.

Thumbs up

Thanks Gareth,
They looked very impressive, is it an expensive upgrade? if you don't mind me asking and what was required to modify the calipers?

cost is approx £550. What you do is remove the standard callipers, split them, then put the supplied machined spacers in between the faces of the caliper, allowing a much thicker disk and pad combo.

They are maybe not as good as an AP set, but then they are about half that price.

Favourite party trick now to demo the brakes is go up the road at 100mph (private road, natch ) take your hands off the wheels and stamp on the brakes, then watch the ABS trigger from about 80mph all the way down.
