  1. thinking about 2 piece dba with ds2500 pads. just waiting to hear back from CS about if the old hat will be compatible with the new t3 series rotors. so i can just buy them and save myself some cash in the future.

  2. Braking is usually balanced 60% front and 40% rear.

    Braking is mainly at the front so it's a good idea to upgrade while replacing.

    You have a wealth of choice out there.

     

    CS can supply DBA at a good price. Don't make your choice based on colour tho, just match it to your driving style.

    You won't need a disc more siuted to track driving when you don't do track work.

    Give Mitz a call and he'll see you right.

     

    Myself I have Dixcel discs (6 groove) which were sourced via Dixon at DMS Motorsport.

     

    So I take it that gold ones are not the same spec as the black ones? Thought it might be the same compound but just a different colour. Performance is my main goal, but more fast road with the rare use on track. Never been on a track day but looking to go on one this summer.

  3. Hi Guys,

    So my brakes have been squeeking recently. Popped into Kwik-Fit this morning to get them checked out. Need new front discs. So will have to get new front pads too.

     

    Just wondering if people could help me with the following questions...

     

    1) If I upgrade the front to DBA + Ferodo DS2500s, will it have an adverse effect on my car if I left the rears as standard? Got quite a bit left on them.

     

    2) Which DBA discs to get? Seen on cougarstore some gold ones. Are they same spec as the black ones and also does anyone have a pic of these on their car?

     

    3)How much better would the 2-piece be over the 1 piece? not sure if I can justify the extra 300 without good reason.

     

    Thanx peeps!

  4. How did we overlook the semi final! It's going to be carnage...

     

    I don't think it will be THAT bad as it is a 23:30 kick off, is there extra time? If there is there could still be a few disgruntled scousers milling about.... :lol:

     

    23.30 kick off? That's late.

  5. Anybody tried the Stillen Gen 3 long intake? Looking into getting that one.

     

    Yep, did that over a year ago. Sounds good, and looks good, with the Milltek IMO.

     

    Any idea on how it's affected the power/torque curves? did you gain or lose?

  6. Speaking of matters such as this, what do you all think to the Samantha Brick thing that the rest of the internet (and telly and radio) is going nuts over?

     

    If you don't know what I'm on about then in short: A journalist woman penned an article in the Daily Main/Mail Online earlier in the week saying that no other women like her as she's too stunning. After the article was published she got tons of abuse on twitter etc, mainly because most people think she has a face like a bag of spanners at worst or passable at best. A fair few people, myself included, believe that the article is bogus either to get more traffic to the Daily Mail website or as some kind of social media experiment.

     

    Linky to her follow up article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/artic ... right.html

     

    S.

     

    she's not my cup of tea
