Got my EVO 7 mags installed today, looks great!

I just need to upgrade my brakes now, the stock ones look tiny. I'd be looking for discs, calipers, and pads. Any recommendations? I realise the stock EVO ones are probably one of the best options.

Looks good dude!

[bradc]

yeah it's great, I'm really really happy. You'll see them tomorrow morning anyway, at Gary's

[OSiRiS]

Nice

Get the bonnet painted you lazy bastard lOl

[bradc]

haha, I put it on for that chosenfew meet I attended, I think that was at the end of October. Beleive it or not, I haven't washed the car since then, and I've done about 4000km since then. Thanks Wouter and Osiris.

My mum just had a look at them, she thought they looked very very big, and suited the car very well. I was quite surprised, she normally hates everything I do to my car.

Just updated my garage too

[You See]

Word on the street is that big is good!

[bradc]

yeah, but not too big, don't you hate all the fools driving around on 18" or 19" chrome mags on their little 4 cylinder cars with 205 wide tyres because they can't fit anything bigger under the guards

Nice car. How does it compare to that yellow Monaro I see? Also what is the red Holden you have there? Is it an Astra convertible?

[You See]

As we all know, Holdens are gutless! ....FORD all da way!

[dickytim]

BTW Brad I got mine on first

I'd say so

[bradc]

I heard you have them on your car, how often did they rub on yours?

[dickytim]

they rubbed all the time, when I took the old rims home the rubbed all the way, only just on the edges, once I had the load out of the boot it wasn;t as bad, but still around corners and over bumps, since I had the gaurds rolled it hasn't rubbed once BTW I wouldn't be tempted to go wider there is NO room either side with them.

[bradc]

robotnik, those other cars are my mums, we got the first Monaro in the country back in 2002, and that Astra converable is brand new. Interestingly her 3 cars (626 as well) are all manual......Who will make the first hassle about that - You See? Dickytim? Kenneth? hmmmm

Ghanda - yep, you're onto something there.
