Cool

Have to say Whilst not having the TSL upgrade but a competitors version (not named as I do not wish to hijack this thread)

I too was pleased I was not relying on the OEM feeble brakes the other day

I was quite happily cruzzzing along when in front a guy doing about 30-35 mph started to brake

ok so did I, he was looking to his left obviousley for an address
I indicated to overtake THEN suddenly without warning or indicating he pulled to the Right

Well thank god for the new brakes and ABS less than 10mm was between us when I stopped

Thankyou ************ Dealer to remain unnamed

Exclamation

Here's the story dudes,

Driving along minding my own business, window down even though it's freezing listening to the scoob (Don't they sound great on these foggy mornings ) and suddenly, outta da darkness and fog, a fox appears, sat in the middle of the road eating carrion!!
(Gotta get those crap headlights changed )

I was doing about 30/35mph (car not warmed up properly ) stood on me anchors and **** me, if i didn't stop within a cars length. I could have sparked up a *** , THEN stood on the brakes and STILL missed the fox

It's the first time i've had to use me new brakes in anger and i gotta say, those TSL brakes are the mutts nuts. No doubt there are bigger and better brakes out there, but for humble ol' me, driving around the roads, these brakes are more than adequate. Make the standard brakes look stoopid IMHO.

If you are in the market to get ya pads, disks and hoses done, give TSL a bell.

No connection by the way, no backhanders recieved, but I do get Trouser to make me a brew .

Trouser, what pads have I got on? (Lost me reciept )

MIKEY

Cheers Lads!!

You BOTH have DS 2500.. The weapon of choice of many fast road nutters and racers alike. A lot of Clio cup cars will be running it next year cos at the recent Donno test they were getting 70% of the pad temperature and nearly a second a lap over the awesome DS 3000. Big advantage of a 2500 is that it BITES like an unhappy shark at very cool temperatures! ... great for people like me who aren't really with it first thing in the morning!

I'm chuffed that they are doing the biz!... cheers lads!

My new TSL brakes were very much put to the test when Mikee was driving my car a week or so after they'd been fitted!!

An old volvo pulled out in front of us on a dual carriageway just as we were about to blast past it and there was no way we'd be able to miss it But the brakes did the bizz!.......only just though!!!! very scary!!

Hi mate

Discs are Grey passivated group n but with elliptical grooves to face off pads.

Discs are £188 (This is 292mmm size)

Pads are @ £141 (depends on which caliper)

Lines are £69

prices are PLUS VAT!!

BUT.... don't forget our Christmas knees up in the 22nd of Dec. where you can literally come along and BID for ANYTHING!!! even the prices on the above brakes!!! . just as a silly Christmas thing really,.. AND.. if we sell out, we will still honour the price as long as the stuff is ordered on the day! how is that?!!

Yay!!! another thread successfully transformed into an advert!

he he

sorry that should be "HO HO HO"..
