Brembodge from rob at rovertech but Ross could not remember if it was fitted with ds2500 or 3000's

I have used this setup on my charged motor with ebc yellows so I know the setup works.

Sneaky,

When I was at Donny with the zs, Ross had 2 mates with him that were running them brakes, and they also had problems.

To be frank, the power this car has and torque means it needs adequate braking power. Brembodge cheap conversion isnt the way forward.

I would look at AP or Alcon.

That's really strange and odd when u look at the spec, rs focus disc's and brembo calipers ??

Maybe it's in the setup and bedding in?

I am pretty meticulous with both, turning down the spacers to get everything where I wanted them to be??

Dunno really I could not get them to fail or play up
Where the stock setup lasted 15mins of hard work.

But I have to agree the car does require a 2nd thought with everything that is applied to it that's why I already have a plan for the brakes if I can't sort the current problems.

Car just needs a decent set of pads beded in correctly tbh. the other cars on the track that day were running flat out for 20 laps at a time with inexperienced drivers heavy on there brakes. heck my mate Paul had a set of 20 quid pads in that I gave him from when i changed the discs and pads.

Sadly I did not bed the pads in as I should have.

Looking forward to the updates Paul

Congrats. I know someone who would do the plastic for glass front window swap if you want.

glad to see that it has gone to a good home and is being properly sorted out and looked after again!

RE Insurance: give greenlight a ring/email they were very competetive and enabled me to drive the quote to below the previous years price for the past 2 years. (get the quote then ring Aplan and ask if they will match it
