I acquired a kit comprising of Brembo GT2 4 pots, DS2500 pads, Focus RS 326mm discs and Reyland brackets. Took a little work to fit as I wanted the fit to be correct with no need for spacers or longer studs. Rears are MTEC dimpled and grooved discs with Redstuff pads. New calipers, new handbrake cables, fresh fluid. Stops faster than it goes, so far impressed with the stopping power at speed.

Drove it into work this morning, got to make sure it was okay before 2.5hrs to PoL! So an hours drive in wasn't bad just noisy. I just hope the new seat doesn't make my back ache. Missing the stereo but earphones are okay for short stuff and maybe headphones for the longer trips to drown out the cabin noise. Grinning like a daft thing when I opened it up, it still has it

I am based in Yeovil, Somerset. Used to live in Kent, still have friends there, looking at doing a trackday at Brands Hatch with my good friend JimmyCoupe
I bought his Starlight Silver mk2 180 last year, she needs new brakes, new brake fluid, maybe braided hoses if I can stretch to it. The car has a quaife fitted so the track is an ideal place to really try it out.....

they are great cars on the circuit and if driven well, can embarrass more exotic cars!
The quaife will be OK, being a helical diff it can still go 'open', but will be a nice touch.
its all in the pads, well worth spending a few quid in the right place
