I'd agree with the Brembo comments, they are a proper brake set up, for the price they deliver excellent stopping power, an additional bonus is that being oe fitment you don't need to keep fettling them as you would a more competition set up.

best just test it / drive it and then see what you think, my ideas might have been totally different to where you will go and its nigh on impossible to say one is right and one is wrong.
I would just say find something you are comfortable with and then just build some confidence from a known base line, and only change / tweek one handling part at a time, that way you can see the effects of what you have done and revert back if it doesnt work. If you do like i did more than once and change a few things at once, then i didnt know what was causing what, so it made it hard to understand what was happening and why.
It is an intimidating car to try and drive quickly around a race track , simply because you build up high speed so quickly, i found i was arriving at every corner much faster than i ever had before and regardless of what folk think its blumming difficult to learn....it was certainly capable of more than i ever got out of it !
Tell you what though, when you can be confident enough to drive it hard and yet still keep it all controlled, its such a rush.......damn im jealous ;-))
Aaaaaah, you will soon be hounding everything else on track and making my laptimes look tardy....ya bitch , rflmao.
Its a good job you live nowhere near me else id be round everyday interfering,lol.

Haha Dave. Im really pleased i got it, it lives in my works workshop so nice and clean, its got everything i want, finally we can get on lol.. As i have said in my Pm's your welcome of a drive once i have learnt the ropes.
Im trying to find a ZS120 badge atm lol only thing i will take of is the 300 badge.. got a lot of dash work to do as thats not that tidy anymore sadly. Plus trying to find the correct dials to fit to the stack Gauges. oil temp, coolant temp, fuel pres, oil pres, boost, and more. want quality but at a good price and to match ... some effort.
Was seeing bedford at the end of the month..... might have to book.
Also I am amazed at how well it starts and idles from cold. It dosnt idle perfect but imo it shouldnt, it just gives it that little "im a tuned mother******* engine" lol
