6 months since the last update!!?
I gave the car some TLC and took some decent pics so thought I'd update this thread. It'll be in a few parts, so bear with me...
I'd been thinking about upgrading the brakes as the OEM brakes seemed pretty poor, but then after my wife complained about them too, that was enough of an excuse to go for it!
I looked at a number of options, and decided the Brembo 18z 6pot upgrade was the best bang for your buck option. I got hold of a used kit, including the adapter bolts, braided lines and 350mm merc discs. Decided to buy some drilled discs instead though. I then spotted some R32 rear brakes up for sale in the classifieds and had to have them! Got some drilled discs for the rear too.
Had the whole lot fitted, topped up the ATE typ200 fluid, and there was one slight issue...the front wheels wouldn't clear the calipers!
The garage managed to get hold of some 12mm spacers, which allowed just enough clearance. However, the ET47 wheels were now effectively ET35. Queue loads of rubbing!!
