personally I would RATHER have egear than a manual - somehow it's more exotic, as well as being more convenient, lasting longer and probably performing better most of the time..

as far as I can tell that plate is legal - except that it doesnt have:

you need to look up "BS AU 145d" which specifies the standard..
I think the performance of the red stuff is just fine for road use - I am using them with SS lines and motul 5.1 and I haven't had any problems with either cold breaking or fade yet (and I don't potter about!). I expect for the track I would need something else though..
sounds good - I will be looking for a new suspension setup later in the year maybe, so I am up for a visit/chat! (as long as it's not in August, I'll be away all month!)
