Hi.

Don't know where you are in S Wales, but Godspeed brakes are in Brynmenyn, Bridgend. I had some recon calipers and kevlar pads off him a while ago, pads alone have made a difference - Ian is a top bloke too

Have a look at his website:

Welcome To Godspeed Motorsport

With springs, depends on how low you want to go. Myself, like many others, have fitted eibach lowering springs which lower by 15-35mm depending on model. Looks better, but if you want lower again there are lots of other options.

Car looks good btw - like newage wagons.

Hi mate

Dont see many Blob eye wagons about. Looks very nice.

I have changed my pads to Ferrodo ds2500's and they are great without a vast amount of dust

Not sure about springs as i have Ast coilovers

hope to see you around at one of the meets maybe.

Hullo,

I have had three wagons, Classic, Newage and Legacy.

If you can get a set of newage STi shocks and Eibach springs. They work a real treat, I can let you know about quick release rear strut braces and all sorts of wagon related stuff if you want. I am currently running Mintex pads on the Foggy.

My Old Wagon above

Gis a PM. Is it dealer or private?

Regards

Welcome mate. Godspeed gets the nod from me, as for springs, i went with eibachs which made a big difference to the look and feel of the car. If your looking to spend big bucks though, go with AST's.
