After killing my brakes once too often on track, decided to bite the bullet and get these :drummer:

Can't wait to try them out at Combe tomorrow :evil2:

You've definately got that bug... :evil2:
For chr*$t% sake take it easy on that first corner!, especially if it pi$$ing down.
What i forgot is my brakes work fine but that abs is a pain in the behind, n/s rear behind!! :rolleyes4 .
Does anybody know if the ABS can be disabled without disturbing the rest of the electronics?

What flavour are they? Were the discs the ones on the MLR group buy?

The are the KAD 6 pot calipers with KAD 330mm discs - and I suspect Ferodo DS2500 pads ?

Same set up as on the front of mine :thumbsup:

Correct on all accounts Inspector Honey :thumbsup:

Brakes were AWESOME /yes today at Combe - even better than I anticipated and worth every single penny - have now moved up a league or two (the difference in speed/confidence is incredible) and was able to out brake some seriously quick cars !

The brakes did not judder, squeal, rattle or make any other noises and just got better through each session :evil2:

Will post some pics etc tomorrow under the relevant event as starting to feel a little blurry-eyed :rolleyes4

Will be going to bed tonight with a big grin on my face :happy:

Some people only paid marginally more than that for their cars!

Look cool though :thumbsup:

Very nice :) Very, very nice :thumbsup:

It'll be interesting to see how the new kit goes through discs and pads, I'm still dumbstruck how much pad I have left on my fronts after 9 track days and about 18000 miles!

On the evidence of Saturday's three sessions at Combe, these will need to be replaced rather more often than that :rolleyes4 /help

Oh dear! Giving them some stick, were we? /lol

Can't say as I'm surprised what with having them as a new toy! Like Peter Kay's "dipping hobnob" joke, yours are the SAS of the brake world - "STOP ME....AGAIN!" /lol
