Im thinking about switching to them for clearance and 2 piece discs but ive heard some rave reviews and some people say they're sh*t. But theres a lot of Forge haters out there so would be interested to see how a car that gets driven properly got on with them.Anyone that says they're sh*t most likely haven't experienced them. I run Pagid RS29 pads and race fluid in mine which helps obviously. You can literally brake so late with them. At silverstone this year, on the back straight when people were braking, I was still accelerating, you can just leave it so late when they're hot. The 356mm and 6 pots are a great set up, and i just run standard rear set up with Pagid RS29's again and braided lines. Ideal really. Yeah you could get Tarox or AP's but just seems overkill lol and £££££. Even though these aren't cheap lol.Thanks very much mate, yeah i was suprised to read it considering the usual qaulity of the Forge products. Does it not get a bit floaty with the standard rears then? Especially with all the weight taken out, i did Silverstone last year with the rear bench out and TTRS front brakes and found the rear got very squirmy braking from 100ish+. That is with std pads/ discs/ hoses though tbf.

Looks like some great development has gone into this car. Any data on the gains from the blanked grill? Does the water not get too hot?
Little update. Finally got round to buying a RFD kit, cleaning the valves thursday!!And also found a little video from the last ring trip...
Really!? Never heard such a thing lol
I have RFD kit installed and still the stock map. Other than the random and sporadic judder in the idle of the engine, I don't notice any difference from the lack of the runner flaps. AFAIK the software update is required to really take advantage of the intake increased air flow.
really nice car mate, i have a axx engine code and was thinking i bought the wrong engine code if i want power lol but after looking at yours i think not
