Ok so I headed up to AKS to get one of his brembo big brake kits fitted today
Whilst up in the air I set about tidying up my rusty rear bells on my rear discs while Alex disassembled my front brakes
With the wheels off I was faced with this
Which after some elbow grease with some steel wool ended up looking like this
Then applied a single coat of hammerite smooth black and this is how it looked
And with the wheel back on it looks a lot better
During this time Alex had stripped down the front brakes leaving a nice big hole
This set of brakes ended up being a bit different from the other sets Alex has sold with the red brembo calipers
Some very tasty brembo 4 pots from an Aston Martin DB9
Alex then set about building up the brakes
Everything tightened up and a wheel test fitted to check for clearance issues
No problems so the rest of the waiting wheels were refitted
And finally a few close ups when the car was on the ground just back from a test drive by Alex
To say I'm impressed is an understatement
fresh out the box and obviously not bedded in yet the power is ridiculous
Can't wait for them to get even more bite when they've settled in but so far I'm a very happy customer and ended up with something a little bit more unique then I bargain for
Thanks
Dave
