    Brembo's fitted

    Sunny Sunday afternoon nothing on the telly, better have a go at fitting wheels
    and brakes. A job I've been putting off during the cold weather.

    Anyway thanks to a brilliant write up by COLVR4 and various bits of info gathered from other threads the job was completed in a couple of hours with no contributions to the swear box and only one bleeding knuckle.

    Wheels (new Eagle F1's added) Brembo's and Discs all off a year old EVO8. Calipers came with orignal Brembo pads. Will probably upgrade to DS2500 when they are shot. Havn't had any squeeley noises mentioned elsewhere but
    already had stainless steel shims fitted.

    Again I'm indebted to CVR4.

    Looks good!!

    Post a couple of pics of the whole car with the new rims and brakes.

    Does that mean that the car is ready for the track??

    Bootiful. These cars look good from all angles. Still look at mine and think "what a car". Never get bored of it.
