Default 2Fast2cool

Towards the end of last week I decided it was time for a new set of rear discs and pads. I searched the interweb to find some decent discs at a good price and ordered my pads from Scoobyparts (excelent service from them as usual).
I stumbled across 2Fast2Cool which stocked some discs at a good price. I was a bit unsure at first about the quality with a name like 2Fast 2Cool, but I called them anyway.
I decided to go ahead and order a set of Black Panther rear discs which are grooved and drilled and after explaining I was a SN member they did me a great price. £49 the pair !!!
I didn't have high hopes to be honest but thought it was worth a shot and they were cheap so worst ways, I'd of only lost £49. I have powerstations 6 pot conversion on the front anyway.
Well they arrived on Friday morning and I went ahead and fitted them Saturday morning along with the black diamond pads.
So far so good, perfect fit and they look really nice too.
So thumbs up for 2Fast2Cool from me (so far).

They are also willing to do group buys on any of their products so take a look and see what you guys think.

Lol... I remember this old thread. Discs ended up being really good and I had quite a few more bits from them.
Sometimes, cheap isn't crap.

Well Matty this is a bit of an experiment for me. I've got AST coilovers at the moment and I managed to get this set from 2fast2cool for less than £400. I'm not sure if it's a good idea removing the ASTs for these. I suppose if I don't like them I'll swap back and get rid of these.

Well you know as well as I do that a £400 set of coilovers won't be as good as the ASTS. However, as you know I ran AST's on my classic and openly admit that 90% of the time they were crap. Even on the softest setting they were too hard for my local roads. On a smooth bit of tarmac they were quite remarkable though but smooth tarmac is somewhat lacking around here...lol...
I never tried them on track but imagine they would work very well in a track situation and the new owner has now done a few days with it and says it feels wonderful.

I reckon you'll get on fine with the cheaper ones, and like you say its not the end of the world if you want to swap back.
Please let me know how they hold up though, a pal and I are mid way through modding his classic and next on the list are coilovers. He's on a budget so if these work out well for you then im sure we'll be ordering a set.

i bought a rad from them and full turbo back exhuast system for 300 posted for the pair, when i rang them they said they were japspeed and they were when they turned up, seems confusing why it more expensive to buy from japspeed themselves than a company there selling too? Dont make good busniess sense?

Both really good and next day delivery too so great service

Coilovers have landed. Service so far has been exceptional. Email and text yesterday and this morning to confirm delivery and specify time. Given details of courier and driver name. If the coilover quality matches service then I've bagged a bargain. We shall see.

Change of plan. Being as they are a little bit of an unknown quantity (albeit they look better built than the ASTs I've got) I'm gonna stick with the AST. I'm happy with the ride/handling balance on the ASTs and already spent a few quid replacing the front springs. Therefore I've put these others for sale.

Would be interesting to know if anyone else have some views on these coilovers, noticed that 2fast2cool have a few sets for sale on ebay, very tempting to have a go at that price,
You usually get what you pay for so is it a case of too good to be true!!!

They look solid and well made. Proof of the pudding is running them on the car. If didn't have coilovers on already they'd have been going on my car. To be honest I didn't expect to win them for what I bidded. I'd be interested to know if they're made in the same factory as the BCs as they are very similar.
